I don't believe I was charged for the online version. I was not able to return the CD to the store as it had been opened and there was no verification that it was not working. But, it worked out ok as I paid for TT (store) and was able to complete my taxes using TT (online.)
And, you are correct; the person put me in the online version not the download version and that is why I was not pleased with how it functioned.
