The pricing of online software and the desktop software are very different. With online TurboTax, you get one return per fee and you pay separate fees for federal and state returns. With desktop, you can prepare and e-file up to five federal returns and the state returns that go with them (with a $25 state e-file fee). If you have a full PC or Mac that meets the system requirements for desktop, then desktop is much more cost effective if you have returns to prepare for several people in your family, etc.
