User questions & answers

Question:	Does deluxe version include forms to report receiving federal assistance for health insurance through the marketplace (aka obama care
Answer:	It includes everything like this. You can even file all electronically for free for one tax return (and this one includes one state return also).
Question:	Can this prepare a schedule c and a schedule f
Answer:	While Deluxe does include forms for schedule C and schedule F, we do suggest Home & Business to get the guided interview questions to ensure information is being accurately entered. If you are comfortable manually entering your information, you can use Deluxe in Forms Mode. While using Forms Mode will not prevent you from e-filing, it does void the TurboTax Accuracy Guarantee. If you override any values that were calculated by TurboTax, this will void the Accuracy Guarantee and you will be unable to e-file. However, you would still be able to print and file your return.
Question:	Does Deluxe include schedule D
Answer:	Step-By-Step, Interview mode, depends, yes and no: The TurboTax Deluxe online edition does not support investments reported on a Form 1099-B. The Premier online edition must be used The TurboTax Deluxe desktop CD/Download edition which has to be installed on a personal computer does support entry of an investment sale reported on a Form 1099-B. As do all of the desktop editions. All of the desktop editions include the same forms, schedules and worksheets
Question:	turbotax deluxe 2020 won't open
Answer:	Did you install the activation key? If not, you can find it here: You can download the software and the activation key as it did last year. You can find both here: 1) Under "Account & Lists", select Account 2) Click on "Digital Games and Software" 3) You should see a link to download the software: TurboTax Deluxe 2020 Desktop Tax Software, Federal and State Returns + Federal E-file (State E-file Additional) [Amazon Exclusive] [PC Download] 4) And under the item you should see a 16-digital alphanumeric sequence. I installed the software on both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 on November 4th and have updated it twice, still waiting for more forms. I ended up using the 2019 version to estimate my taxes for the end of the year, but I still have time as I don't have to make the estimated tax payment until Jan 2021

User questions & answers

Question:	How reliable is the PC download version, does it actually install and automatically grabs updates
Answer:	The TurboTax Download version is the same great TurboTax software as the Disc. The installation process is the big difference allowing you to immediately download and use the license key to access the product right away rather than having it shipped to you. It will ask for you to update when opening the software up just as the disc does as well.
Question:	How do I find the license code on my download
Answer:	It is on the invoice from Amazon
Question:	How many e-files do you get per unit of this model Turbotax
Answer:	You can prepare as many federal returns as you want. Up to five can be e-filed. Additional returns must be printed and mailed.
Question:	I don’t have state tax just federal. i have child deductions. is that what this one is for? it’s cheaper than the other deluxe. so wanted to make sure
Answer:	Yes I live in Florida no state tax. This will work for you.

User questions & answers

Question:	What does it mean to allocate all or portion of your Federal refund to Amazon. Com
Answer:	It means that you can choose to get an Amazon eGift Card instead of a check/direct deposit for some/all of your refund. If you decide to get $100 of your refund as an Amazon gc, then you'll get a $104 credit to use for shopping at Amazon because they are adding 4% when you do this. If you have an Amazon cc, it's still a better deal to just use that since that gets you a 5% bonus.
Question:	Pc disk order shows only win 8+ compatibility. why not win
Answer:	Just installed on a Windows 7 SP1 on a virtual machine - works perfect. Make sure you have SP1 installed. Also make sure you have IE 9 or higher - from web page "Windows 7, 8, or 10 Internet Explorer® 9.0 and above"
Question:	It states that you get one free state download. can i do as many ohio paper returns as i want
Answer:	Yes, you can do as many paper returns as you'd like. To clarify - You get one state program included. If you need to file in a second state, another state program would cost $39.95. You also get 5 free Federal efiles. State efiles are 19.95 per return
Question:	What will be the charge to efile my california 2019 state tax return? does turbotax charge the same amount to efile a state return
Answer:	The efile charge is $19.95 per return. And yes, Turbo Tax charges the same.

User questions & answers

Question:	how much is the additional efile for NY State
Answer:	New York e-file is free.
Question:	Is this the version to use for 2019 taxes (filing in 2020)? The TurboTax website indicates that they are still only accepting pre-orders for
Answer:	Yes, this software is for the 2019 tax year, which will be due in April 2020. This product will give you an immediate download.
Question:	Will this work using Windows
Answer:	It works fine under Windows 7. I used it to do my taxes this year and had no issues with it. The following companies have stated they will continue to support Windows 7: 1) Google Chrome for 18 months after Jan 2020, 2) Firefox for 24 months after Jan 2020 3) Avast Antivirus (free or paid version for 24 months after Jan 2020) Let's not forget that Windows 7 is still officially supported through 2023 for paying customers (unfortunately that doesn't include home users), so even if there was a big "ZERO" day exploit, chances are good that not only will it impact Windows 7 users, but also Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10 users, we just don't know if Microsoft will make the patch available for Windows 7 users. About the only people that are not going to support Windows after this year is Intuit, which means next year I will be doing my taxes by pencil again, as Linux is not something they are interested in. Right now if anyone is telling you not to use Windows 7, it's scare tactics. I was able to update my machine last week even though support ended a month ago. You'll be okay running Windows 7 this year.
Question:	Does 2019 Deluxe + State version support stock sales and stock dividends
Answer:	Something else to consider. If you're not sure you can fill in the information using the Deluxe program, you can get the Premier (one-time) then next year get the Deluxe program and you can view the forms at any time and enter the values in the appropriate boxes. All you get with the Premier is $ome extra interview question$ when it comes to stock sale/dividends. FWIW, I have been using the Deluxe program for more than 20 years and have been able to report my stock sales and stock dividends w/o any issues. After a certain time in the new year you can choose to import your information from various financial institutions as well.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does h&r block recognize intuit's turbotax returns from previous year
Answer:	H&R Block and TurboTax both let you upload your W-2 by taking a picture of it. Both services allow you to import your previous returns no matter which tax service you used (as long as you have a PDF version of the return). They also make it easy to fill out your state return after going through your federal return.
Question:	Can I use this version to file a very small self employed business return
Answer:	we recommend the premium & business version
Question:	can i load this on two computers at once
Answer:	I have been trying to do the same thing and I have not been able to find out how to do it. I am going yo have to go back to Turbo Tax because I need to be able to work in my tax return in both; my Laptop when I travel & in my Desktop
Question:	When I get a new computer next year, can I install this software without repurchasing it? I will not be using my current computer after that
Answer:	Yes, you should be able to install it on 2 machines, but: 1) tax laws and forms change each year, so you won't be able to use it for next - year's taxes. 2) If you work on your taxes on PC 1, you will have a saved file on PC1. I'm not sure how you would move that saved file to your new PC. You may be able to do it with a thumbdrive, but I can't say for sure that will work, so you may need to start from scratch.

User questions & answers

Question:	How is amazon offering this product for $35 less than any other retailer (quill/staples)? why would intuit provide this favored amazon-only price
Answer:	I wish I knew. Maybe it's because Amazon buys in bulk. It seems odd but now that I know, I'm going to cancel my automatic purchase each November from Intuit and buy it from Amazon at a lower price!
Question:	Does this product allow for filing back taxes or 2018 llc taxes as well? or would i need to purchase turbotax's 2018 business tax software as well
Answer:	To file 2018 taxes, you will need the 2018 version. Additionally, you will need to print and mail the return, efile will not be available for previous years returns.
Question:	Does tt business have 1120s and k-1 forms to file for my s corp
Answer:	Use TurboTax Business (Windows only) if you need to file a return for a corporation (Form 1120), S corporation (Form 1120-S), partnership or multi-member LLC (Form 1065), estate/trust income (Form 1041), or homeowner association (1120-H). TurboTax Business doesn't cover personal (1040) returns, either with or without Schedule C. If you're in business for yourself and haven't incorporated or created an LLC, we recommend TurboTax Self-Employed (online) or TurboTax Home & Business (CD/download) to file your personal and business taxes.
Question:	This for 2019 year right
Answer:	For tax return year 2019, March 16th 2020 is the date by which many businesses (but not all) must file tax returns. Failure to do so will lead to a fine, which can be hefty.
