Regardless of which version of TurboTax you are using, if you want to prepare your return together with your spouse, then you will both will be using the same version of the program, and you will both be charged the same price. You can only prepare your returns in different products if you prepare your returns separately. 

 

To prepare your returns separately, you would choose to prepare for “Myself” to create a return only for one spouse when you are starting a new return.

If you are transferring your previous year’s information, you will get the option to transfer only one spouse’s return on the “Here's a snapshot of what we'll transfer”.

 

Unlike some other countries, there is no "joint" filing in Canada. Even if you can use TurboTax to prepare your returns together, they are still sent separately to the CRA, and the CRA still considers them 2 separate returns. And NETFILE is a free service provided by the CRA. When you pay for TurboTax, you are paying to use the software to prepare your return, not to pay for NETFILE.
