Need link to purchase & download 2020 TurboTax (small business)

I just need one link to  purchase and download software for 2020 TurboTax for Small Business.  I have no interest  in using any type of online version of Turbo Tax.  I only want software that I download onto my MacBook.   

 

Thanks

Buy Home & Business here, either the CD or the download.

https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/home-and-business.jsp 

 

or check in stores  for sale prices.  It should be available all over, like office stores, Walmart, Target, Costco, etc.

There is no version called "Small Business"  There is Home and Business--for self-employed, or TurboTax Business which is for C corps, S Corps, Multimember LLC's and estates  (and it can only be used on Windows)

 

 

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

 

https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/

 

You can also purchase the CD/download from various retailers such as Costco, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Sam’s Club, etc. etc. etc.

 

This link Where can I obtain authentic TurboTax software? has a list of authorized TurboTax resellers.

 

When you use desktop software, there is an additional fee to e-file a state return.  You can avoid that fee if you print, sign and mail the state return.  The state e-file fee is $19.99 and increases in March.

 

 

ONLINE 2020

And just so you know—online prices go up in March

 

 

TURBOTAX LIVE FROM RETAIL

 

 

Why won't Clear & Start Over work in TurboTax Live purchased through retail?

 

Can I get a refund for TurboTax Live purchased through retail?

You mean The small business program (TT Business) is for 1120 Corporation, 1120S Corp, 1065 Partnership or 1041 Estate/Trust returns?    It  is a separate program from the Desktop Home & Business program or the Online Self Employed version.

 

Sorry but Turbo Tax Business  is not available to do online or on a Mac.  You can probably run the Windows Business program on a Mac using a Windows Emulator like Parallels. But you would have to buy a copy of Windows to install in it.   Google Windows on Mac to get articles on the various  options

I just want what I used last year - the software runs on my Mac - and I think it's called TurboTax Home & Business.  For security reasons I never place my personal finances and tax returns online.

I'm having a similar problem with Premier.  The link to the online store does not work.  Have you found a work-around?

That's only in the online version you can start for free.  In the Desktop program you buy the program first and install it on your computer.  There are several differences between Online and the Desktop CD/Download program.

 

Start an Online return here,

Or you can buy the Desktop CD/Download program here
