You can also purchase the CD/download from various retailers such as Costco, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Sam’s Club, etc. etc. etc.
FYI … if you don’t buy the Deluxe program from TT directly then be aware that it is sold with AND without the state program … so read the ad carefully if you need a state.

If you qualify you can use one of the 10 IRS FREE FILE options to file a fed & state return for free ... but you must log in thru the IRS site :
https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free
For Filing Season 2021, you must make $72,000 or below to use one of the 10 IRS Free File partner offers.
If you choose the TT option then you can log in with your same user ID and agree to switch to the FREE FILE option then your progress will be preserved. This will only work if you qualify for the TT option which is NOT the same for other IRS FREE FILE options...
