If you have downloaded the 2022 software and entered your license code, and updated the program, you are ready to prepare your tax return. Do not make the mistake of "logging in" to online TurboTax. You will open the program from your own hard drive, just like you open other programs that are on your own computer.
We see people get confused and they keep logging in to online software which will require them to pay at the end. You need to use the desktop software. One way to tell if you are using the right software---your tool bar. Online software has the toolbar in a black vertical column on the left side of the screen. Desktop software has the tools up on the top of your TT screen.
