Please be sure to preview your return and compare it your prior year return. See How do I preview my TurboTax Online return before filing?.

Although, you may prefer working in the desktop version as it has more forms and abilities than the online version. The desktop version must be paid for before using. You can try the online version first. If you like it - great.  You can switch to desktop and download all your information easily. The online is no charge until you file. You want to start there as you may decide the support you need is not available.
