You're joking? They are not even close to the same. For one, it is impossible to see a form in the online version. If you feel comfortable sending in your taxes without ever seeing an IRS form, that's fine. But I like to see what it is I'm signing. For two they are completely different programs that were apparently written by different groups within Intuit. And if you ever need to submit a revision a year later you can forget doing it with the online version. I will never again use the online version unless they truly do every become the same thing.
