@TaxerLNR The Download program is EXACTLY the same Desktop program as the CD. You buy it the same way directly from Turbo Tax or in stores like Costco. When you installed the CD you still had to go online to update it. It's only the method you use to install it. Even when I bought the CD I used the download method to install it. Don't confuse the Download with the Online web version.
You can burn the installation file to a CD or save to a usb flash drive. My Windows Download program is listed under Downloads and is named Windows_PC_TurboTax_Downloads.exe
But since you now have to log into an Intuit Account all your downloads and licenses are listed there (even if you bought it from somewhere else) so if you need to download to install it again or install on another computer, even on the other operating system (Windows, Mac). Access your downloads here

You can buy an install CD for 2024 for $10 after you buy the download and a License Code
