Which personal version should I use for a Registered Domestic Partnership (RDP), civil union, or same-sex marriage?

Although both the desktop and online versions of TurboTax can be used for RDP, civil union, or same-sex marriage returns, we recommend using the desktop version.

Here’s why:

  • The desktop version saves you time. You can easily create your state married return from your existing individual federal return (the one that gets filed with the IRS). You won’t have to re-enter a lot of your federal information, only add your partner’s. With the online version, however, you’ll need to re-enter your information multiple times using multiple user IDs.
  • The desktop version saves you money. You only have to pay for the software once (plus applicable electronic filing charges per return). If you use the online version, you’ll have to pay separately for multiple returns.
