TT 2023 Desktop version

[vitenite1]

I am using the TT 2023 desktop Premier version. It asks me to create an online account to activate the software.

Do I have to use the same online account when I e-file my return?

Also for state e-file I usually get asked to pay more $ and for that can I use a separate account to bill onto the credit card?

Lastly, if I e-file my return either state or federal is it stored online in the account used the activate the software or the account used to file the return?

I want to keep my tax files fully offline, and I want to ensure that if I use desktop it will continue to be that way, irrespective of if I efile or not. Can someone confirm this please?

Thanks!
