If you ever need to download again, it is easy process from Intuit by logging in to your account. All your years products for download are available in your profile.
shoot. well I didn't have time as it's due in 3 days, so i did the online version.
You could have downloaded the new Desktop program immediately. Oh well. Were you at least able to transfer 2017 into the online version?
I didn't transfer anything, just entered AGI from that. Now I know to get it yearly. I normally get it from Costco. The download was 110 bucks and online for the same premier was 80.
Yes Costco has one of the best prices and has a coupon in January. If you buy directly from Turbo Tax it might be higher.
Hey, be sure to download the data file, it ends in .tax2018 before October so you will have it on your computer next year to transfer into 2019. And save the pdf too. Or you might not be able to get a copy when you need one. Or if you ever need to amend 2018 in the future.
