   From my research, admittedly only a few hours worth, it's the same stuff.   
      
   Bear in mind I would *never* have bothered to ditch TurboTax had their   
   marketing organization not practically begged me to find an alternative.

   It's a good question to ask, but it begs the question of what is in Windows   
   11 that I need, and the answer is nothing (as far as I can tell anyway).   
      
   In fact, Windows 11 is lost functionality in terms of cascade menus.   
       
      
   Q: Is there anything I'd want that is in Win11 but not in Win10?   
   A: ? (it would have to be enough to warrant buying a new PC)

   It's like "muscle memory"... :)   
      
   We have to be clear here that I didn't even LOOK at the box I bought.   
      
   Every January, like clockwork, TurboTax goes on sale at Costco.   
   I pick up the lowest available version which is always Deluxe + State.   
      
   I've done it so often it's like grabbing the same coffee creamer for 20   
   years off the Costco shelves until one day they quietly switch the formula.   
      
   You'd chastise me for not looking at the ingredients.   
   And that's fair.   
      
   But it's also fair that I used "muscle memory" too.
