I was looking at the application chart at Office Depot this afternoon. It seemed to indicate that I would not be able to use the $60 version, I would have to upgrade to the $90 version because I have a rental property.

I have done rental property (sked E) in turbotax since the days of Chipsoft. (In those days you tried to oh-so-carefully feed the paper forms into your tractor-feed dot matrix printer so that TurboTax would print into the space on the form without too much mis-alignment). AFAIK, you could use TTax basic. I use Deluxe, just because I need the state program too (actually, I need multiple state programs for the rentals which gets kind of pricey, but that's another issue). I'm not sure about the curent product, but historically I think the higher-priced versions just had more "help" material in them. While I finally broke down and let Ttax take me through their "interview" process, I still go through the forms manually for final "walk through". IMHO it's the "worksheets" that TTax provides that make the product worthwhile. For example, each rental property gets a worksheet, and that is a place where every dependency (such as asset depreciation) is linked.
Of course, there's always the garbage in - garbage out problem.
