It's easy to tell if you're using TurboTax Online or the TurboTax CD/Download software. Click a link to see what our most popular version, TurboTax Deluxe, looks like in both environments.
Other ways to tell include:
- If you go to a website to sign in to your return, you're using TurboTax Online.
- If you're using Federal Free Edition or Freedom Edition, you're using TurboTax Online.
- If TurboTax periodically notifies you it's downloading (or downloaded) an update, you're using the TurboTax CD/Download software.
- If you're preparing a corporate, partnership, or estates & trusts return, you're using the TurboTax CD/Download software.
