@ProudNDeed Are you having trouble with the Desktop program installed on your computer? Did you end up using the Online version?
You don't have to pay for the program again, unless you bought the Desktop program and then used the Online version. You can't apply the Desktop purchase to the Online version. If you did use the Online version you need to pay for Online and you can get a refund for the Desktop program.
I had trouble with my Desktop program and downloaded it again. The Download has all the updates to now. When you log into your online Account and go to Products & Billing all your years are listed. If you click on Licenses and Downloads you can download it again, even get the download for the other operating system Windows or Mac. Your tax data is in a separate file ending in .tax2024 and wasn't affected when I downloaded the program again and reinstalled it.
