You can buy the CD Desktop program or download the program.  You can buy it in stores or from Turbo Tax.   But you will need to go online to update the program frequently and before you file.  You will need to go online to efile the return or you can print and mail it.  

You can buy the CD or Download here,

If you don't want to go online at all you can fill out the blank forms by hand.

@HenrywForeman The desktop software is a download this year.   If you really want a CD, then for an additional $10 you can order one AFTER you have paid for the download and have your license key.  

DOWNLOAD (This requires a full PC or Mac—-cannot be used on a mobile device)
