Just starting and not certain that I'm going to get my program downloaded.

I got onto the site and choose the program I wanted and now suddenly am entering data--but I want to download the program and do it online but also have the forms that I can see.

Only the TurboTax CD/Download software (desktop software) has Forms Mode. If you started your return in TurboTax Online, you'll need to save it as a tax data file so you can open it using the TurboTax desktop software. Please follow the instructions in the FAQ below.


How do I switch from TurboTax Online to the TurboTax software?
