I'm looking for a tax preparation software program that I can use offline. I don't want my tax return to be "in the cloud." Does Turbo Tax offer this option?

Yes.  You can buy the CD\Download version of TurboTax's products.  If you use the CD\Download version, your tax return will be saved only to your own computer.  So be sure to save your returns once completed!  With CD\Download, TurboTax will not store a copy online.
