Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I saw the same thing.  I ordered Home and Business and expected the download filename to be consistent with previous years.  In 2019 and 2020 they followed this format - "w_turbotax_1040_hab_[phone number removed].exe" which included the OS (w_), the product (tubotax1040), the VERSION (hab - for Home and Business), the YEAR and Revisions ([phone number removed]).

 

This year, there appears to be a different (AND undocumented) filename scheme., ie: "windows_per_turbotax".  The "per" would infer a "personal" version without the business forms.  In fact, it installs into a sub-directory named "Individual 2021" unlike the previous year's sub-directory titled "Home & Business 2020".

 

It would have been nice if TT had simply included a note on the Downloads page telling us....  "By the way, your download will have a different name, and will actually install itself in a directory with the name of the lower version, "Individual 2021".  BUT... don't worry.  We are using the License Code (or other server-based procedure) to branch the different versions inside the application's one "per" file into either Personal (Individual) or Home and Business, depending on which License you purchased".

 

Many Thanks to Terrill in Support for his help in sorting this out.
