The most common surprise with TurboTax isn't the sticker price. It's the add-ons: state returns, state e-file fees, and paying for an edition you don't actually need. Here's how the cost breaks down so you can budget before the new version lands.

TurboTax Desktop Prices: What to Expect for 2026

TurboTax 2026 (the version you'll use to file your 2026 return in early 2027) hasn't been priced yet. Desktop pricing usually moves only a few dollars year to year, so this season's prices are the best guide. These are our current prices on the TurboTax 2025 download editions:

Edition	Our TurboTax 2025 price	Best for
Deluxe	$76.43	Homeowners, itemized deductions, charitable giving
Premier	$117.49	Investments, stock sales, rental property
Home & Business	$140.59	Self-employed, freelancers, single-owner businesses
Business	$185.99	S-corps, partnerships, multi-member LLCs (Windows only)

Deluxe, Premier and Home & Business include federal plus one state download. Business covers the federal business return only, with state business returns sold separately. We'll post confirmed 2026 prices on each edition page the day Intuit releases them. See all editions on our TurboTax 2026 page.

What Actually Drives Your Total Cost

The edition you pick. This is the biggest lever. Buying Premier when Deluxe covers your return costs you about $40 for nothing. See our Deluxe vs Premier comparison.
State e-file. Federal e-file is included for up to 5 returns, but Intuit charges a separate fee to e-file each state return. Printing and mailing your state return avoids it.
Extra states. If you lived or worked in more than one state, each additional state download is an extra charge.
Online vs desktop. The online versions price per return and add fees as your return gets more complex. Desktop is a one-time purchase that can prepare multiple returns on the same computer, which is why families often choose it.

How to Pay Less for TurboTax 2026

Buy the desktop download rather than the online version if you file more than one return in your household.
Pick the lowest edition that covers your return. Our TurboTax selector guide walks through it in two minutes.
