So I bought the downloadable version for an offline PC (for security) because it is literally advertised as not needing and internet connection. " You'll be able work on your taxes, even if you're not connected to the Internet."
So if I understand correctly, to be able to use this product securely, without an internet connection, I have connect to the internet with said "Offline Only" computer??? The entire reason I bought this version was to specifically NOT connect to the internet.
The Only times you need an internet connection using the CD/Download editions is to get updates to the software and to electronically file (e-file) your tax return.
At this time of year when you install the software you should have an internet connection to get the latest update prior to starting your tax return since the software you downloaded may not be at the latest release.
