Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Why are you saying you have two versions?  What is the other one?  You say you used the download purchased from amazon.  And....there is a $25 state e-file fee with desktop Deluxe.  The software included the program to prepare the state return, but you pay a fee to e-file a state return---you can avoid the state e-file fee if you print and mail the state.

 

What are the "dueling" versions you are referring to?   Do you mean the way the returns are stored?   When you use online TurboTax software your returns are stored in your TT online account.  When you use desktop download software the returns are stored on your own hard drive or any back up device you used like a flash drive or an external hard drive.
