The process to save a return on the CD/Desktop platform is:

  1. In the margin on the left above the Red circle Logo
  2. Select File
  3. you now have the option to
    1. Save
    2. Save As
    3. Save to PDF
  4. Choose the appropriate action.

Also, if you click the X to close the return, it will ask if "Do  you want to save this File?"
