Why do some stores sell TurboTax for less?
By law, we are prohibited from setting retail prices; retailers can charge whatever they want to remain competitive.
Although we sell TurboTax to stores at the wholesale price, we cannot dictate the price they charge when they sell TurboTax to you.
If you believe time is money, or if you'd rather not deal with sometimes-crowded stores, you may find that buying direct is worth the few extra dollars. Buying direct ensures that you get TurboTax delivered right to your door (or downloaded to your computer) without any extra effort on your part.
Having said that, if you purchased TurboTax directly from us but later decided to purchase the product locally, you can take advantage of our unconditional, 60-day money-back guarantee.

The desktop version gives you access to see your forms while you are working on them and
the online version does not. Then again the online version lets you store your return on our secure server. It really is a matter of personal choice.
