A:AnswerWith the Deluxe version of TurboTax you can complete and efile up to five different federal tax returns - more than enough to meet your needs. Unfortunately, you only get one state included. You do have the option, though, of purchasing and downloading additional states through TurboTax. I think they are about $39 each. Alternatively, you could do one state through TurboTax and the other states the old fashioned way - with paper and pen. Also be aware that only the federal returns have free efile. You can efile your TurboTax state return but it costs extra. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerThe tax software required to calculate your state income tax is included for one state of your choice. The e-file option for the state portion of the return is an additional $20, printing it to mail incurs no additional charge.
A:AnswerThere is no charge for the federal return. However, there is a one free download for the State return, but if you want to electronically file the state return, you may have to pay for the electronic filing. If you file by mail, the only additional cost is your stamps and envelopes to file them by snail mail.
A:AnswerIt will install and run with Windows 7. Next years 2020 version will not run on Windows 7. Intuit is encouraging users to upgrade to Windows 10. This information is available if you check the Intuit website or “Google” the question.
A:AnswerYes it does give you a up to the minute information on taxes owed or hopefully the refund you can expect. As you complete a section the program updates this information. As you get to the end it will tell you what forms are to be filed either electronically (recommended) or which ones to print out to mail in. If you are talking about estimated taxes for next year and will the program calculate it for you, I am not sure if it does. But by determining what you owe or are getting refunded and assuming this year will be similar to last year you can adjust your tax withholding accordingly.
A:AnswerYes. There are live chats, as well as, general answers to frequently asked questions. There are little info buttons next to most categories that generally explains the categories. You have the option of going through a list of questions to help prepare the return, or you are able to streamline it to only enter the areas that you need.
A:AnswerThe download is accessible with a code. Same as you would get if you bought the download only version. Features and functionality should be the same.
