I have the same need that Coral703 has. I use a laptop that may not have internet connectivity depending on where I am. And I just may not want to be connected to the internet.
That said the software appears to be broken if you have not updated your software after Apr 15(possibly later). It gets stuck in a never-ending update attempt loop(i.e if you select "cancel" it tries to update anyway OR exists. It will not move forward to the point where you cant update your preferences.
I was finally able to connect to the internet and get updates. I then manually disconnected and tried again starting TuboTax again. The software was able to progress after selecting "cancel" and was able to update preferences.
There is a manual update but I have not tried it. Of course you will need at least some computer with internet connectivity to get it.
