Did you sell some stocks last year? Bonds? Make a withdrawal on mutual funds? Maybe you own a rental property (hello, Airbnb honchos) or are lucky enough to be the beneficiary of a trust. If your situation is a little more complicated than the average taxpayer's, TurboTax Premier is for you.
"[Filing taxes is] easy peasy with the Premier version when you have things like mutual funds, sold property, investment income and interest. I think it is well worth the extra $20 or $25 compared to the lesser Deluxe version," said one satisfied customer.
