Yes, you can.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for switching to the desktop editions - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-product-orders/switch-turbotax-online-turbotax-cd-download/L8oxEJNu5_US_en_US?uid=l9blb8px

Yes,  You can move your Online file to the Desktop program and continue without paying for Online or needing to reenter your info.  If you already paid for the Online version you can ask them for the Desktop program.

 

To continue in the desktop version see this…….

How do I save my TurboTax Online return as a tax data file?

 

After you get the program installed the first thing to do before you open your tax return .tax file is to update the program and install any state programs you had. Then open your file. So you first might need to start a fake return to be able to download the state program (go to FILE - NEW).  Just enter some basic personal info like your name and address then click on the State tab at the top and it should ask if you want to download the state program.

FYI ... you can use just the Deluxe downloaded version  instead of spending more for the unneeded H & B version.
