Which form is that? Did you compare the lists of included forms as I suggested to marc515? I gave all the links you need in my post.
Thanks SS, and those links are a God-Send, but therein lies the rub. I checked my 2011 return and didn't see anything unusual that is not in the Deluxe version.
But I was trying to anticipate what happens if I bump into a necessary form.
I read this on the
Premier description and had to ask myself if the
Deluxe would do this, what-seems-to-me, to be pretty elementary.
I think that Deluxe might have the forms but they might need to be filled in manually. If Premier can fill the forms in from downloads from Vanguard and Fidelity, that alone is worth the price of the upgrade.

And I cannot imaging there are many readers here that did not have these types of investment activity requiring these features.
I talked myself back into buying the premier.
