Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@pkand everyone,

I just verified that the MAC address is NOT what they go with! and in fact it is per each and every install based on my experience today.  A Reddit post verified this as well and I wish I had found it sooner.  I used up 5 of my 5 licenses on the same laptop today.  How do I know this? after an install, one must login to their profile, and it shows how many licenses you have used and today I went from 2 to 5 (I know, I should've stopped and that's on me!).  See screenshot for reference and note that you can x-out at this stage if you change your mind.

In all cases I made a note of all of my MAC addresses (Wifi and Ethernet) and all were the same (as they should be of course). I will be able to accomplish what I want but if I ever have to reinstall again, I will have to purchase a new license.

In conclusion to all users:

If you have to reinstall the TurboTax Windows desktop program, even on the same PC, every install will count against, and deduct from your 5 allowed licenses. This is from my actual personal experience - Windows 11 Pro 24H2, TurboTax Deluxe 2023.
