Funny, my 2019 code worked at InstallTurboTax.com, where Intuit says "Enter your license code to confirm your purchase and retrieve your download." Intuit accepted the code from the CD box then and gave me the 2019 software to download. However, when the software asked for the *exact same code*, the code is now rejected and the software is useless.
Clearly they have the codes still saved in their computer system somewhere but they refuse to either (a) authorize re-installed software or (b) eliminate the need for an authorization code. Instead they make their software useless. They intentionally "brick" it.
This is a reminder that one size does not fit all. There is still a need for people to use TurboTax even if refunds are not possible (which is what the 3-year deadline is about).
P.S. I have a Mac. I will have to see if there is a hack for that.
