@2jairo2 This is a very old thread with posts from multiple users. If you have a full PC or Mac that meets the system requirements for the desktop download then you can use the download or use online TurboTax----it is your own choice. You do not "have" to download the software if you do not want to. There are pros and cons to each platform. And the pricing is very different.
If you need to prepare multiple returns for various family members, etc., desktop software is more cost effective.
With online software you get ONE return per fee, and federal and state are priced separately.
