The desktop version allows you to e-file up to 5 returns. The federal e-file part is free, while there is a fee to e-file the state or you can choose to print and mail the state.

Plus in the Desktop program you can use any version and won’t have to upgrade like to enter investments or self employment, etc. so you can use a lower version. All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions.

And there are other advantages over the Online version. You can do more than 1 return. You can see and enter into the actual forms. It has a What-If worksheet. And the Desktop program is always available even after the year ends. Which is good if you ever need to amend your return after online website is closed or get audited and need your tax records.
