@rohnnk not following your question,. Unlike the Online version where you pay once you complete your tax return, with the desktop/ download version you pay in advance.
Conceptually, you can't see the tax return until you pay. With Desktop, that means you pay at the beginning of the process because once the software is downloaded to your laptop, TT can't force you to pay once the tax return is complete - you could just print and mailand avoid paying.
is that what you are surprised at?
