You can download your online TurboTax program to your computer so you don't have to re-enter all of your information. You will see an option for that on your left menu bar while working on your program in TurboTax. Look for the Tax Tools menu option, then Tools, then see the option on the right to  Save your (year) return to your computer.

Have you bought the Desktop program?   Online & Desktop are different.   

 

You can buy the Desktop Download program here or in stores or online like Amazon, Costco, etc.
