Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Nope always been able to.   In the past you could download the .tax2024 file from online to transfer into Desktop.   Now there is a button to do it.   You should still download both the .tax2024 file and pdf for backup in case you need to amend in the future.  Like to amend 2023 you did online you need to download the .tax2023 file and install the Desktop program to open it.

 

Here’s some differences between Online and Desktop.

If you switch to the Online version for 2025…..You will notice several differences and may not like the online version.  It has less features and no Forms Mode.

 

The Online web version is only good for one account and one return.  Although you can use the same email address for 5 separate accounts.  Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2025 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done.

 

You can log in and access your return from any computer. You only can see the forms after you pay and download the pdf. And you might need to upgrade to a higher version to enter different kinds of income.

 

If you can't  install Turbo Tax Desktop program you can transfer from your 2024 return from your computer into the online version. You need to have the file ending in.tax2024 on your computer.
