Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

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.

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.
