Our online version is only available using our site.  You can purchase our Desktop version from us, or from a retailer.  We recommend customers use a well known retailer to ensure they're purchasing a legitimate product.  Retail stores should start carrying the desktop version in November, and they often offer significant discounts to entice customer's to come into their store in hopes that you'll end up purchasing more than just TurboTax.

Yes wait for sales.  Like Costco usually has a good coupon in January.  Shop around.

If you want to use TT Online, though, many banks, brokers, clubs, etc offer a discount if you enter TT via their website.
