1. That is the software download rather than the online version?
2. Does that include free e-file? If so, for how many returns?
Thanks

You can do either, but I always get the download. It also includes free e-file + one free state.

I download TurboTax for free every year through Fidelity. I think you have to have a minimum account balance to qualify, and even then they don't make the link easy to find. But it's worth looking for if you happen to invest with them.

This actually leads to one other question I have - I plan to hold VTSAX in a Vanguard brokerage. Do you happen to know if TurboTax will net out capital gains / losses across multiple brokerage accounts? I've never imported more than one brokerage account, but I do know that Turbotax allows that opt...

I’ve definitely sold IAU, although I don’t remember specific times when I had a capital gain that wasn’t also offset by a capital loss elsewhere. But TurboTax is incredibly thorough, so my working assumption is that it’s all baked in.

I own IAU through Fidelity. When you look at the annual summary, it indeed does report lots of small transactions. But Turbotax imports them all automatically so it's not a big deal. I've never had to deal with a K-1 form, and according to this list physically backed funds like GLD and IAU don't hav...

Tyler! You just shocked me! In retirement! Until I just read that you'd had struck as this super bright late 20s, 30s something year old! Congratulations on maintaining a youthful persona! Well, I'm in my early 40's and really more of a MMM-style financially independent type than a traditional reti...

in my opinion that cash should not be considered spendable cash like a checking account . it is an asset in the mix with a job to do and you really don't want to compromise things . I completely agree. My point was not that I treat cash differently, but simply that I appreciate its unique character...

I was surprised to see the PWR (and SWR) was actually higher for a 25x4 allocation than for a 60/40 allocation. I guess I was expecting Japan-proof insurance to come at the expense of returns... but instead a PP outperformed a 60/40? It's indeed a little counter-intuitive, but it works out like tha...

Yeah, if it's accurate (proponents are intentionally dodgy on any hard numbers) the $4mm number is insane. For reference, the median home price in San Francisco is currently $1.7mm and lots of people are paid in stock options that are highly valuable but locked up, so that $4mm net worth number coul...

The Breitbart comments are predictable, but the canary in the coal mine is that she also completely lost Twitter with that hot take.
