Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You seem to be posting from online TurboTax. Did you actually download your desktop software and use it? If so, you open your TurboTax software from your own hard drive, then go up to the top of your screen and click "File" then click "New Tax Return" to start a new return using your desktop software.
We see people get confused and they keep logging in to online software which will require them to pay at the end. You need to use the desktop software. One way to tell if you are using the right software---your tool bar. Online software has the toolbar in a black vertical column on the left side of the screen. Desktop software has the tools up on the top of your TT screen.
