Sure, but it's not as if you have a lot of choices.

 

In fact, there are only two that offer consumer-level, downloadable (installed) tax prep software.

 

TaxAct: https://www.taxact.com

 

H&R Block: https://www.hrblock.com/filing-options-and-products

 

Good luck!

TaxSlayer is another option, but at first glance they may have transitioned to online-only.

 

Between those options, personally, I would go with TaxAct.

 

However, don't eliminate the option for a tax professional.  Yes, they cost more, but in some circumstances they can give advice (and correctly prepare your tax return, which is hit-and-miss with DIY software like TurboTax) that can be worth a lifetime of tax preparation fees.   For example, I encountered a several real-life situations where a tax professional's preparation and/or advice saved TENS of THOUSANDS of dollars over just following TurboTax's directions.  Although that large of a difference is not common, it shows the advantages of a GOOD tax professional.
