Question

How do I download Turbotax just purchased from Staples? Purchased a CD with free download, and Staples says download must come from Intuit.

    You install the TurboTax program from the CD.  The federal return is installed from the CD.

    If you are referring to the free state program download, that will not be available until sometime in December.

    Enter your personal information in the Personal Info section of the program.  Click on Online at the top of the desktop program screen.  Click on Download State.  After selecting your state the program will give you a date with the state program will be available.

    Thanks! Please see my reply below to VolvoGirl, but the order could have been referring to this as well.

    Was there a card in the box?  This came with my CD but i got it directly from Turbo Tax.

    This must be what it is referring to. I haven't picked up the CD yet at Staples--just saw that the order said "with free download". I assumed the software could be downloaded independently of the CD. I guess I jumped the gun, although the Staples order description was misleading. I will confirm all this when I pick up the CD. Thank you!

    Yes you need the License Code this year.  This is all new this year so please let us know what comes with the CD.  And if you have any trouble downloading or installing it.

    Staples emails a link for the download within 1 business day after buying.
