I have 2021 software but it is not currently installed on my computer.  Can I install it now, or will it not be properly updated?  

I did my return on line and then purchased the software.  I have a print out of my return and the CD. 
Also, it was home and business.  If I use premier will it work?

    Maybe someone else knows for sure, but 2021 TurboTax desktop is no longer supported by Intuit so you may not be able to activate the program with your product key.

    TurboTax no longer supports desktop software for 2021, nor do they provide updates for it.  Sorry.....what are you trying to do with 2021?

    It's not "officially" supported, but if you already own it, it won't hurt to try and install it and see what happens.  Also, if you purchased the software from Intuit as a download (and not a CD), you can go into your account and get a new copy of the installer file.  I believe the downloadable installer file is usually the most recent version they had.
