If you work for Turbotax, I'm sorry. I have been using Turbotax since before it was available online and I find online and desktop very confusing and I blame Turbotax for the problem. I appreciate your question: the answer is I installed the desktop version from Costco and also went online. I think it's bait and switch--I bought the desktop version that includes an "online" link that wants me to pay another $129. In 2022 I went back and forth--not by choice but due to my unfamiliarity--and I'm merely trying to figure out which one I finally used so as to make it easier this year. The online and desktop UIs are so similar I can't tell which I'm using at any one time. So it seems there is no simple way to know. Thinking outloud if possible I'll open both versions and see which one show the return I submitted last year.
