How do I save my TurboTax Online return as a tax data file?

 

After you get the program installed the first thing to do before you open your tax return .tax file is to update the program and install any state programs you had. Then open your file. So you first might need to start a fake return to be able to download the state program (go to F.ILE - NEW).  Just enter some basic personal info like your name and address then click on the State tab at the top and it should ask if you want to download the state program.

 

You can buy the CD/Download here or in stores.  You need a full Windows or Mac computer to install it.

With the Online version of TurboTax, your work is automatically saved to TurboTax's servers as you go, so that you can find exactly where you left the next time you log into your account.

 

To transfer your return tothe Desktop version, follow these instructions.
