I had a couple of good responses to my question above. My problem was not in a lack of understanding my Desktop version, which I've used for years. Rather it's my lack of understanding of how the online version differs. It's a matter of my ignorance of computer technology and not a tax program-related question.
The several responses I received were very helpful in gaining an understanding that the online version is completely separate from the Desktop in terms of accessing the tax programs. The online version is a different way of how the program is accessed and functions, verses having the Desktop version function using the software downloaded and functioning on my desktop computer.
That's pretty basic. I just wanted to be sure. The responses made that clear. Thank you very much for your help.
