I always bought the CD from Costco. But last year for 2023 I bought the download from Costco online. I have Windows 10. Here's how mine went.
I got the activation email in 20 minutes.
I clicked on the link in the email, then chose PC Download. It automatically went to my Downloads folder.
I double clicked on the file to to install it. It installed FAST! It launched and updated. Hasn't asked for the Activation code yet. It said to continue but nothing happened.
So I clicked on the Desktop Icon - got a sign in box. Had to log into my Turbo Tax account. They emailed me a code to verify me.
Then got the Activation box and entered the 16 digit code and was in. Actually I just copied and pasted it from the email.
This year I filled in the registration box so it should stop asking me every time I launch it.
For 2022…..
I bought the CD from Costco. But I used the download method instead. It has more advantages over CD. Then you can also download it another computer. Once you install the CD you can't install it again like if you need to reinstall the program or install on a different computer.
