If I cannot complete my taxes in the online version of turbotax by october 15th, how do I finish them?

You would have to purchase the CD/Download TurboTax software and move your TurboTax Online return to the download software. See the following FAQ for instructions to switch from TurboTax Online to the CD/Download TurboTax software.

How do I switch from TurboTax Online to the TurboTax software?

Before you can open the downloaded tax return in the download software you must install the state program for any state that is included in the downloaded file. You may have to start a dummy tax return in order to install the state.

To play safe, you should download your .tax2020 file to your computer now, to make sure you have it before TurboTax Online shuts down.
