I have used TurboTax for the last several years, and each year, there is exactly one form that is keeping me from using a cheaper version of TurboTax.

One year, it was having an HSA. I could have filed with TurboTax Basic except for needing a single form (8889) causing me to need Deluxe instead.

The next year, it’s a single stock sale causing me to need Premier instead of Deluxe. Is this by design?nnI think intuit needs a better business model. Perhaps allowing you to buy single form add-ons for $1-2 each, instead of one form being a $20-40 upgrade to the next TT tier. Or just having only two versions of TurboTax: Home (includes ALL non-business forms), and Business (includes everything else).

Hopefully next year’s TurboTax releases have a better strategy. If not, I will probably try out H&R Block’s tax prep software.
