    Why do you even want to do that instead of using the superior CD/download software?   Sorry, but you cannot put a return you started using the Cd/download into the online software.   The reverse is possible---you can start online and switch to desktop. 

     

    But...you cannot use the license code for the desktop software to pay for online.  So you would have the added aggravation of requesting a refund for the CD/download and then you would have to start the 2022 online return from scratch and pay for online software.
