Have you already purchased the product? Or have you already started your return and would like to switch? 

Could you please provide me with more information so that I can provide the right answer?

I got a TurboTax std desktop from Costco but before installing wanted to make sure in the future if I want to move to online will it be possible?

Yes, definitely. If you decide to switch to the TurboTax Online (DIY) platform next year, your data will be transferred seamlessly. At the beginning of your 2026 return, you will be prompted to upload your 2025 tax data file (.tt25). This will automatically carry forward your personal data, carryover amounts, and tax history, ensuring continuity between the desktop and online versions.

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
