I notice you posted your question from online Deluxe Live. The pricing is very different for the online products, especially if you choose one with one on one help from a tax expert. What you are seeing on Amazon, etc. are the prices for the CD/download.

Retailers like amazon or costco, etc. can set their own prices. If you find a better price from a reputable retailer, take advantage. Stay away from deals that sound too good to be true from retailers you have never heard of.

You can also purchase the CD/download from various retailers such as Costco, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Sam’s Club, etc. etc. etc.

This link Where can I obtain authentic TurboTax software? has a list of authorized TurboTax resellers.

When you use desktop software, there is an additional fee to e-file a state return. You can avoid that fee if you print, sign and mail the state return. The state e-file fee is $20 and increases to $25 in March.

Thank you for the reply. If I buy the software from Amazon and sign in will all my saved info be populated?

@danimf1123 If you use the CD/download--no matter where you purchase it--- you can transfer your 2022 tax file into 2023. You have to do that transfer at the very beginning ----BEFORE you enter any new 2023 data.

How to transfer last year’s return? https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1900883
