Get your taxes done using TurboTax
I am not a TurboTax employee. I'm "just another user" the same as you.
As I've always understood things, when it comes to the CD version of the program you are authorized to install it on a maximum of 5 computers that you own. Likewise, it can only be downloaded 5 times. The activation code also, will only work a maximum of 5 times.
If you have not used the activation code 5 times, then you should be able to copy the installation file from the downloads directory of the old computer to a USB drive, and transfer the installation file to the new computer that way. DO NOT try to install it directly from the USB drive. It will not work. Copy the installation program from the USB drive to the downloads folder of the new computer. Then remove the USB drive and install it from the downloads folder.
Note that if the license activation code has already been used 5 times, then this will not work. You will have to purchase the program again unfortunately, or feel free to go elsewhere.
