Yes...a major retailer is allowed (don't use unknown scam sites) ....but it will be the desktop version, not an "online" version. Amazon, Staples, BestBuy...Costco, Walmart all OK....but not all offer a download. IF you buy Deluxe, make sure you get the version with one free state since Deluxe offers it both ways....but desktop Premier and H&B always have the one free state.
Even with the free state, it will cost another $25 to e-file the state part (but can be printed and mail-filed by yourself for free). Fed e-filing is no extra charge...max-out is 5 e-files.
