As an update to this thread, I contacted support today. Josh answered the phone and his first response was essentially that next year when I activate the product I need to pay better attention when logging in.
I explained four times that I didn't log in, didn't buy it from Intuit while logged in to their website, and didn't enter the license code on Intuit's website. He responded four times that what I was describing couldn't have happened and that I was wrong.
Quite bold to respond to a customer saying "When I registered the product something happened that didn't make sense to me," with "Next time you give us money don't screw it up." Dude was a **bleep** until he put me on hold and had me talk to someone else who suggested logging out of all Intuit products on my computer before installing the software, since if you are logged in to any of them you will not be asked to log in and it will indeed use the account associated with another product on your computer.
