transfer current online to desktop

I bought turbo tax deluxe at Sam's club. Started taxes and you recommended I do it online and that I could switch to desktop anytime. I finished my return and now I can't switch to desktop without starting over. How do I do it?

After you get the program installed the first thing to do before you open your tax return is to update the program and install any state programs you had. Then open your file. So you first might need to start a fake return to be able to download the state program (go to FILE - NEW). Enter some basic information, then go to the state tab and download the state program. Then try to open your existing return, go to FILE - OPEN
