Oh no! The credit is usually better but it is only available on the desktop. The deduction is also available on the desktop version.
Use the desktop program. If you are online, easy to switch.
- If you are online user, and have not purchased your software, simply buy the desktop version and download your .tax file so you don't have to do your taxes again. Any trouble, call support, link below. Here are desktop options.
- If you have paid for your online taxes, call support and tell them the desktop program is required.
