    NO.   When you use the CD/download software your return is not stored online.   It will be stored on your own hard drive or whatever backup device you use like a flash drive.

    The CD/download has forms mode; online TT does not have direct access to the forms.  With online you can see your Form 1040, or you can pay to print and review the forms before you file.

     

    PREVIEW 1040

    If you are asking how much your return will cost, and you are using the Online product, then please do the following:

     

    1. Open your return, if necessary close on Tax Home

    2. On the left, click on Tax Tools.

    3. Under that, click on Tools.

    4. In the center of the screen, click on the button that says My Fees.

    5. This will show the fees owed in order to file or print your return.

     

    If you mean something else, please come back and tell us.
