What? As I said the Desktop program you install is different than the Online versions and is priced differently. The new Online version is PREMIUM, not Premier. If you start using the Online version it will not direct you to the Desktop programs. You have to know to buy the Desktop program separately. And by the way, all the Desktop program have all the same forms so you can use a lower version like Deluxe.
Desktop also has many other features and advantages over the Online version. You can do more than 1 return. You can see and enter into the actual forms. It has a What-If worksheet. And you can use a lower version because all the Desktop versions have ALL the same forms. You just get more help in the higher versions. In online you have to upgrade to enter certain kinds of income. Like Premier for investments.
And the Desktop program is always available even after the year ends. Which is good if you ever need to amend your return after online website is closed or get audited and need your tax records.
