BUT FYI - Since you now have to log into an Intuit Account all your downloads and licenses are listed there (even if you bought it from somewhere else) so if you need to download to install it again or install on another computer, even on the other operating system (Windows, Mac).
I bought the download from Costco for 2023. Since you now have to log in to a Turbo Tax Account, the License Codes and downloads are listed in my Turbo Tax account. Access your downloads here

But even if you have the CDs you won’t be able to reinstall 2020 or prior. They only support the last 3 years. The License Code started in 2019. So 2019 and 2020 needs to connect to Turbo Tax to verify the License Code. So you can’t install and activate 2020 or prior and adding a new year going forward.
One confusion people have, is that the Online version is NOT the Download program. The Download program is EXACTLY the same Desktop program as the CD. You buy it the same way directly from Turbo Tax or in stores like Costco. When you installed the CD you still had to go online to update it. It's only the method you use to install it. Even when I bought the CD I used the download method to install it.
