It is a mistake to try to download another version of desktop software.   It is unnecessary.   Every version of  desktop has all of the same forms and schedules so you can use Deluxe for anything you can do with Premier; you just get more help in the interview screens with Premier.  If you already have Deluxe and want Premier---just upgrade to Premier.   Open the Deluxe program, go up to the top of the TT screen and look over to the far right for the >>>> Click on that and you can choose to Upgrade to Premier.  Then all you do is pay the difference between the original price for Deluxe and the price for Premier.

 

Any version of the desktop software can be used for multiple returns for various family members.  You can e-file up to five federal returns and the corresponding state returns.

 

Seek a refund for the Premier download that you do not need.
