How can I buy the “online web” version of TurboTax Delux WITHOUT having to file the taxes? Just want to buy ONLINE web TurboTax Delux BUT NOT ready to file/submit yet. Don’t understand why I cannot just BUY the “ONLINE, log-in & use version” FIRST without actually filing BC not Ready To file (need to gather docs etc) BUT want to PURCHASE “online version turbotax delux” now and all it says is “START FOR free.” I dont want to “start for free” but just want to BUY that version without putting in all my info.

Why is it so difficult to “just buy online version” and keep in my acct as “purchased item” IF I am not ready to “submit/file” FIRST before paying?

Click on File on the left side of the online program screen. On Step 1 after the Order Summary you will be asked to pay for the Account fee. Click on Credit Card. Once you have completed the credit card processing you can go back to any of the TurboTax online sections you were working on by clicking on that section link on the left side of the online program screen.

@DoninGA Hi, are your instructions for on a desktop computer using a web browser?

BC I was logging into the TurboTax “APP” on a mobile phone & I dont see any of the options u mentioned on the “left side” … “order summary” etc … none of those features are on the TurboTax “APP” log-in.
What browser are u using to log-in?

Thanks for ur reply!

Those instructions are for the TurboTax online editions where the user would be using a personal computer to access the online account.

Your mobile application may show something different. But you should be able to access the section of the program to File the tax return. I assume that is where you can pay the TurboTax account fees with a Credit Card when using the mobile application.
