Thread: Turbotax Deluxe Changes

    Default Turbotax Deluxe Changes

    For those who use Turbotax you may be interested in this article. Appears those of us who have used Turbotax Deluxe may not be able to use that version if you have Sch. D or Sch. C's. Intuit has moved those features to its 2014 Premier service which costs twice as much as the 2014 Deluxe version. Check this Forbes article out.

    I called the phone number in the article above and was told that once I had purchased the Deluxe version and reached the upgrade section that I should call the number again and I would be given a free upgrade to the Premier version. Has anyone else received the free upgrade?

    Thanks Scout. I have used TurboTax for years and I have always pre-ordered. I don't need schedule C,D,E or F at least not yet. But it appears because I pre-ordered I will get that upgrade free. However, if you don't pre-order and wait until now when the software becomes available in stores the Deluxe version is cheaper. I think I will cancel my pre-order and just what and buy it on Amazon or Best Buy next year.
    May the force be with us.

    I received the e-mail telling me about my free upgrade today. I haven't downloaded it yet.

    I need schedule E but only for the first page or so. I also need two states which gets expensive.

    I have been thinking for the last few years about just finding a fillable PDF of the forms I need and stop paying Turbo Tax a bunch of money, Yeah it is convenient but also buggy every year. Now I may look for an alternative. For 2014, I will post something about how the free download goes.

    Latest update. Called to get my update from Deluxe to Premier ( 800-445-1875) and was advised that after 2-7-2015 the update would be automatic with the purchase of the Deluxe version? Will see.

    I have used turbo tax for many years so I called turbo tax to complain about having to buy the Premier vice the Deluxe in order have the option of using fillable Schedule Ds. When I threatened to start using H&R Block's tax software, they sold me the "downloadable" Premier for just $45. See below...

    I thought I heard last week that the Intuit CEO caved to all the complaints and announced that Intuit was going to refund the money that people had paid to "upgrade" when they found out they weren't going to have the same "tools" they had in the past with TT and those who hadn't they would include the same "tools" i.e... Schedules etc. in the Deluxe version that everyone was accustomed to in the past...?

    Does that include the state filing? Also, Best Buy will match/beat any advertised price. I got the Deluxe w/ Efile and State filing for 35.99. With the upgrade to Premier that seems like a fair price. Any better prices out there?
