TurboTax Premier Conclusion

The TurboTax Premier plan is the best option for those who are reporting income from rental properties or from selling investments (stocks, bonds, or mutual funds). TurboTax Premier will import your investment information from your financial institutions, which will save you the time of manually inputting this information on your own. The cost for filing federal and state returns is relatively high, costing $49.95, and $36.95, respectively. TurboTax provides excellent on-screen guidance to help you answer any questions about a particular section of your tax return.

Technical and tax support is included and available via phone, live chat, and email for the TurboTax Premier plan. TurboTax also offers an extensive searchable knowledgebase with frequently asked questions. TurboTax’s support is very knowledgeable and quick to respond, with phone support wait times ranging from 5 to 15 minutes. If you would rather not be placed on hold, you can submit a form to have their tax representatives contact you by phone or email.
