@pdoudar I’m an old timer too, 72. I’ve used Turbo Tax since it started too. When you installed the CD you still had to go online to update it. It's only the method you use to install it. The last couple years when I bought the CD I used the download method to install it. But last year for 2023 I bought the download from Costco online. Installed it real fast. It was the same as the CD. Most of the laptops and computers now don't have a CD drive. And I had to get a new laptop with Windows 10 to run Turbo Tax starting for 2022. You can copy the download installation file to a CD or to a thumb usb drive. It will be alright. You can get used to it.
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).
