Does the free online version of turbo tax calculate the pension split amount? how do i do this? thanks

Standard is the cheapest version of TurboTax that does have the Pension Splitting Optimizer. You can get a 8 return package for TurboTax Standard Online 2018 for $34.99, which is cheaper than buying 2 returns at the regular price ($19.99 x 2 = $39.98). Click on the link to go to the purchase page:
