Get your taxes done using TurboTax

When you use desktop software, the tax files are saved to your computer.  It sounds like you may have put password protection on the files or you have them stored to a cloud location possibly.   But you don't need a TurboTax Online account or password to open tax files when using the desktop software.   @johneye
