Can I still download TurboTax and use it for 3-4 returns this year, and NOT save them to the cloud?

Yes.  It sounds like you are wanting to purchase the desktop product, which can prepare multiple returns with up to 5 free Federal efiles.

You can purchase the desktop version (CD/download) directly from TurboTax here:

https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/

And if you purchase the download, be sure you specify the correct OS--Mac or Windows PC.

After purchasing, you can retrieve your download here:

https://shop.turbotax.intuit.com/commerce/account/secure/login.jsp?pagecontext=download

NOTE:  The Basic Edition does not have a state program and cannot import from ItsDeductible.

Otherwise, all of the desktop editions can prepare the same forms, but differ mainly in the amount of help and guidance.

Deluxe comes in 2 versions--one that is a combo Federal and State, and one that is Federal-only.  If purchased directly from TurboTax, it is the combo Fed and State version.  If purchased elsewhere you have to be careful which version of Deluxe you are buying.
