Forms mode

Will Forms Mode still be available in some manner now that the Desktop download is going away?  I used that all the time and it was very useful.

Forms mode

The difference is that there will not be a physical, plastic CD for the desktop software.  You will install it by downloading it to your own computer's hard drive.  The features of the desktop software --like five federal e-files, Forms mode, "what if" -- etc. etc etc. will still be the same as ever.

The TurboTax desktop downloads are not going away.  What has been reported is that TurboTax will no longer offer a Compact Disk to install the software.
