how I change online version to download version?

You can move your Online file to the Desktop program and continue without paying for Online or needing to reenter your info.  If you already paid for the Online version you can ask them for the Desktop program. And you can buy a lower version Desktop program.  All the Desktop programs have the same forms.  You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions.

 

To continue in the desktop version see this…….

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 FILE - 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.

The online editions and the desktop editions are totally separate programs with different price points.

 

Go to this TurboTax website to purchase and download one of the 2024 desktop editions - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for saving the online tax data file to your computer - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/save-turbotax-o...
