Many of us are trying to get people to understand Intuit is NOT taking away your purchase of the desktop software. Since 2016, you continue to own the app and can install it on your computer. I have just did an experiment and installed 2016 to 2023 as clean installs without incident.
But here is what people do not realize. You CANNOT do a simple amend if you reinstall. You need to go through extra steps and will need to contact Intuit support.
Some people are adamant they need a previous version of Turbo Tax so they can print out a copy of their taxes when they need it. For that, they are missing the point of backing up their return to PDF. That is the SAFE method every year and the STRONGLY recommended method since version ONE. ALL professional tax preparers strongly recommend that. ALL tax programs you purchase strongly recommend that.
