Does 2017 packaged "Store Bought" Turbo Tax Deluxe CD support Schedule D and Form 8949 and will the CD version support free filing of Federal and Virginia State Taxes?

I am getting conflicting info from Turbo Tax websites. I want to buy the retail packaged product in a "Box Store" and want to know where or how I can confirm that the "Deluxe" Product will support Schedule D and Form 8949 as well as include free file of both my Fed and State Taxes for 2017.

Yes all the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help in the higher versions.

For state.......first of all there are 2 different Deluxe versions in the stores. Deluxe with a free state program download and Deluxe without a state for states that don’t have a state income. So be sure the box or online description says Federal +Efile+State.

Then what you get is one free state PROGRAM download to prepare unlimited state returns. But each state return including the first one is 24.99 to efile. Or you can print and mail state for free.

Thank you VolvoGirl.

I am a seasoned user of Turbo Tax; but things change over time. I have used Turbo Tax "Free File" in the past with great results; but this year I would be more comfortable with filing 1040 as opposed to 1040A because I must report sale of mutual funds and it is my understanding that Free File and other methods don't work.

However, cost is a major factor. I know that Turbo Tax CD version of Premium is more sophiscated; and now know that Deluxe CD version will or should support Schedule D and Form 8949.

But, can I get by with a 2017 Turbo Tax Basic CD and get support for both Schedule D and Form 8949.

Bottom Line, when my taxes are done, I want a copy of the 2017 1040, Schedule A & B as well as Schedule D and the Form 8949.
