I didn't want to get into the reason, but since you asked... I bought a new sealed version on Ebay for $11, cheaper than a State Tax purchase for $45. I'm doing retirement scenarios and looking at my taxes in various states. I have 3 computers available, which should allow me to download 3 different states for free. I did three on my original TT CD purchase and now want to do 3 more.
So, enough on my reasons. Since I have a brand new TT CD, I should be able to uninstall the 1st and install the 2nd and get 1 free state per computer.
Any thoughts on this? Does intuit save computer IDs on their servers, thus knowing the download situation?
I removed the original TT with Windows uninstall, ran TTCleanStates.exe, and cleaned the registry of Intuit/TT entries. Second install still showed original state -- not the tax form, just the state program. Thanks for any help.
