Accessing TurboTax will allow you to compare the different levels of the software and decide which option is best for you. If you’re unsure, you can always start with the free version and upgrade if necessary during the tax preparation process. You are not charged for any of the TurboTax products or services until you file.
After creating an account and logging in TurboTax will ask you if you’d like to start your return based on the time of year. Note there is a link for live help in the upper right of the screen if needed. You’ll also have access to any prior returns or uploaded documents through this portal. And if you don’t want to file using the desktop version of TurboTax there are also mobile versions available for both Android and iOS operating systems.
