there's an offer for 2025 where you can switch a desktop license to ONLINE PREMIUM for FED+STATE for no extra cost (any version so just buy deluxe I assume).  This offer shows up when you install the s/w on Win 10 machine and get the dialogue below (not tried it as I am on Mac and not sure if there's another way to activate it).

 

Note online is not the same as desktop, there is no Forms mode and you can only prepare 1 return per account.  Normally it's more expensive but this offer mitigates that for 2025 unless you have multiple returns.

 

As for Win 11 being low use, it's twice the size of Win 10 in the US.  Win 10 is 25% of the US user base if you assume Mac is 25% and Win is 75%.  Desktop is less than 1% of Intuit revenues and in decline, while online is 10x desktop in users and 20x revenue and growing 8-10% annually.  Win 10 amounts to a $50mil revenue decision for a $21bn company.  They've also cut ItsDeductible and desktop basic, and offered multiple incentives this year to switch to online - clearly that is their focus.

If you switch to the Online version for 2025…..You will notice several differences and may not like the online version.  It has less features and no Forms Mode.

 

The Online web version is only good for one account and one return.  Although you can use the same email address for 5 separate accounts.  Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2025 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done.

 

You can log in and access your return from any computer. You only can see the forms after you pay and download the pdf. And you might need to upgrade to a higher version to enter different kinds of income.

 

If you can't  install Turbo Tax Desktop program you can transfer from your 2024 return from your computer into the online version. You need to have the file ending in.tax2024 on your computer.

 

If you used the Desktop program last year here’s How to transfer into the Online version,

There are 3 Online versions. And you can add LIVE service or Full Service for expert help. In Online the fees are to prepare the federal and state returns (State is a separate charge) whether you efile or print and mail. Efiling is free and included.
