Can I backup downloaded program to external device?

It is showing you are in the Online version, there is no program to download.  You can download and save your returns as a .tax file and/or PDF.

 

To get a copy of your 2022 tax return that you filed this year, sign in to the account you used to file this year's taxes and either:

  • Select Preview or print returns if your return has been accepted, or
  • Select Your tax returns & documents to expand it if needed and select Download/print return (PDF)

If you don't see your 2022 return:

  • You might be in the wrong account. Use our account recovery tool to see if you have other accounts
  • You might not have filed your taxes yet. If you see options like My Info, Federal, State, Review,and File in the 2022 Taxes menu, you haven't filed your taxes yet. Select File to do so. You'll be able to print a copy of your return when you file them

You can also print or preview your tax return before you file. Be aware that you'll need to pay any outstanding TurboTax fees beforehand.

 

Your printout will include extra documentation and calculation worksheets for your files, but not W-2s, 1099s, or any other forms from your employer, bank, brokerage, etc. because TurboTax didn't generate those forms.
