I have been using turbotax for a few years now and this year purchased the above stated version from Costco. What I usually purchase gets me 8 returns and the availability to do I think 12 more as long as income was under $25K. I don't see the ability to do any under $25K with what I purchased this year, is this correct? Thanks.
The 8-return package of TurboTax Deluxe Online allows you to prepare 8 Deluxe returns. After that, you can prepare 12 more returns, but they will be separate from your 8-return package. You can prepare those additional returns for Free, but it's not based on income, rather it's based on what the taxpayer enters on their return. Please see this TurboTax FAQ for more information: Who can file for free using TurboTax?
In the past you may have used TurboTax Standard CD/Download (for Windows). That allows you to prepare 8 tax returns for filers with net annual income over $25,000, and 12 returns for additional taxpayers with net income below $25,000.
