How to purchase Online (web) TurboTax Delux version BEFORE filing taxes? (NOT the desktop download version)

[JY25]

How can I buy the “online web” version of TurboTax Delux WITHOUT having to file the taxes? Just want to buy ONLINE web TurboTax Delux BUT NOT ready to file/submit yet. Don’t understand why I cannot just BUY the “ONLINE, log-in & use version” FIRST without actually filing BC not Ready To file (need to gather docs etc) BUT want to PURCHASE “online version turbotax delux” now and all it says is “START FOR free.”  I dont want to “start for free” but just want to BUY that version without putting in all my info.

Why is it so difficult to “just buy online version” and keep in my acct as “purchased item” IF I am not ready to “submit/file” FIRST before paying?

Click on File on the left side of the online program screen.  On Step 1 after the Order Summary you will be asked to pay for the Account fee.  Click on Credit Card.  Once you have completed the credit card processing you can go back to any of the TurboTax online sections you were working on by clicking on that section link on the left side of the online program screen.
