I am trying to purchase and download TurboTax 2024 to my desktop in case the price goes up later. Is that not possible?

It was so easy last year. Now when I log in, it comes up with "hi, let's keep working on your taxes!" I don't want to work on my taxes. I want to pay for a download the software and have it look like it did last year.

You can purchase the desktop download from Intuit or any of a variety of retailers.   The fee that will increase for desktop is the fee for e-filing a state return.   If you e-file a state return before March 1 it will cost $20; after March 1 it will cost $25.   Or you can print and mail the state return and pay for a stamp.

 

The fees for ONLINE TurboTax increase after March 1--is that what is confusing you?   The current fees for using online are the "discounted" fees; after March 1 they increase.

You can also purchase the desktop 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 $20 and increases to $25 in March.
