I want to purchase the turbotax download and am not getting an option to do so.  I am logged into TurboTax and do not wish to do my taxes online.

CD/DOWNLOAD (This requires a full PC or Mac—-cannot be used on a mobile device)

 

https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/

 

You can also purchase the CD/download from various retailers such as Costco, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Sam’s Club, etc. etc. etc.

 

This link Where can I obtain authentic TurboTax software? has a list of authorized TurboTax resellers.

 

When you use desktop software, there is an additional fee to e-file a state return.  You can avoid that fee if you print, sign and mail the state return.  The state e-file fee is $19.99 and increases in March.

You can also click on help in the upper right. Then within the panel that appears, one of the choices is to "Find My TurboTax CD/Download."

I agree that this is hard to find!

Thanks for the info.  I was able to download the Federal version I needed from Amazon and filed my taxes on time.
