Hi I already purchased the TurboTax Premium desktop version from Costco. I accidentally started filling my taxes with the Turbo Tax online Version.

can you please help me export my .tax2024 file or transfer my tax return to the desktop version?

Have you already retrieved and installed your TurboTax product you purchased at Costco?   If so, see if you can use the method in this FAQ to move from Online TurboTax to desktop software.

One important point in the FAQ is that if your data from Online also includes a state return, you need to install the state software into your desktop product before doing the switch, or you can get an error message.
