Uh-oh.   You appear to be using Online Premier.

Did you buy Premier desktop software (CD/download) but then used Online TurboTax (web version) by mistake?   A license code that came with a purchased software version can only be used in the desktop software.

.

If so, we can tell you how to download your *.tax2020 data file you started online so you can finish it and file in the desktop software you purchased.   You won't have to start over.

No one can download it for you, but we can tell you how to retrieve your download, depending on how you purchased it.

 

Be aware that this is a public Internet forum.  Please do NOT provide any license code in this public user forum, and do NOT post any personal info such as an email address.

 

  • If you purchased a software download directly from TurboTax website, you should be able to retrieve the download from inside the Downloads section of your Online account.

  • If you purchased a software download from an authorized retailer, you should be able to download the installation file from that authorized retailer's website.
  • If you purchased a CD, but want a download instead, the FAQ below tells how to get a downloaded installation file.

 

I'm not sure I fully understand your situation, but I'll take a go at it.   Underneath your question it is saying you are using Online TurboTax.     If you bought desktop software originally, but used Online TurboTax by mistake and now want to install and use the desktop software instead of using Online TurboTax, you can retrieve your already-purchased software using one of the methods above.  If you purchased a CD, but want a software download instead, here's how to use your license code to get a download of the software to install on your Mac.

Be sure to choose the Mac version.

 

Once you install the downloaded software installation file, you can download the *.tax2020 data file you started online and finish it in the desktop product, so you don't have to pay again.  Here's how:

I don't fully understand your situation, but if you are using Online TurboTax by mistake, you cannot print a return in Online Premier without first paying for the Online product.   If you already bought desktop software, I just left another comment in this thread that tells you how to get a download of the software to install on your Mac, and I left info on how to move your data file from Online TurboTax to the desktop software without having to start over.
