TurboTax Standard Online is completely online - everything is housed on our secure servers. There is nothing to download, other than PDF copies of your finished returns.

If you would prefer to use the CD/Download version, you can’t use the codes for Online to activate it. You can request a refund for your Online product and then buy the CD/Download version of your choice. https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/replies/2647900

Tried to request refund using online request form  - did not get any email verification that request was received.
