do i need to upgrade or buy a new program?

[AlexPalma]

I purchased TurboTax 2018 last year to complete my 2018 tax return. It is now 2019 and i need to file my 2019 tax return, can i use the same program? (TurboTax 2018)

You can't use the same program. Every tax year program is different. You must buy a new program every year. Here is the TurboTax site to buy a new download program for 2019: https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/

You can sometimes find TurboTax for lower prices in stores or online. If you get it online, make sure it's from a reputable retailer. Also make sure you get the right version and with or without state depending on whether you file a state return or not.
