For itemizers who want a second opinion
If your return involves itemized deductions — mortgage interest, property taxes, charitable giving, medical expenses — even small mistakes can cost you real money. Live Assisted Deluxe gives you the same deduction-finding tools as the DIY Deluxe, plus unlimited access to tax experts and a professional review before you hit submit. Think of it as the reassurance upgrade for a typical homeowner's return.
