But I don't need 2 packages for a spousal return do I? I can't find a way to delete one of these before checking out and I don't want to pay double the cost for no reason.

At the very least, neither of us are self-employed and so we should at least be able to file both returns with the basic package.

If you 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.
