I have T3, T5 and T5008 documents. What version of turbo tax do I need standard or premier?

[TurboTaxKim]

You can use any version of TurboTax to prepare your 2018 tax returns with these investment slips, even Free! The Premier version does provide more guidance on investment and rental income. If you start with a lower version then feel you would like more guidance, you can always upgrade and your information will carry over to the upgraded version.

Who can file for free using TurboTax?

If you add Assist & Review to your Premier return the cost will be $89.99 per return. You can pay by credit card when you are ready to file your return. 

FYI: If you are preparing your return with a spouse, this counts as 2 returns.

do I understand that the Premier will provide extra guidance but the Standard version won’t block me from entering T3, T5 and capital gains and loss, right? Can you give me extra details on what is considered guidances provided by the Premium version please?

[TurboTaxGinette]

Once you enter the information you will be guided to upgrade to the Premium version. User guidance deals with preventing and correcting user errors which is included in the upgrade. You need the Premium version to apply the capital gains and losses.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

For 2023 return, I am being forced to upgrade to Premium if I have a T3 slip.  Why is this happening this year for the first time?  I don't believe I need to do anything for the new trust reporting rules just because I have a T3.  Thanks

I don't use the free version.  I have used the Deluxe cloud version for several years and have been able to use it to input investment income slips including T3s and T5008s.  For 2023, if I use the T3 or T5008 schedule there is a lock notice that says I must upgrade to Premium.  Is this a change for 2023?
