Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Sorry no more CDs. You can still buy the Desktop program but you only get the License Code and have to download the 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 or Amazon. When you installed the CD you still had to go online to update it. It's only the method you use to install it.
I'm on Windows 10. This is how mine went.
1/3/25 Bought Home&Business from Costco online. So I don’t know how it works if you buy the card in the store. 20 min later got email with License Code and download link. Clicked on Download link. It took me directly to Turbo Tax to download. Had to pick my product then select Win or Mac. Program downloaded.
Had to go to my Downloads folder. Clicked on downloaded .exe file. It started but stopped saying I needed Microsoft Visual C++ with an install button. I clicked on it and it installed the MS Visual C ++. Then it continued to install Turbo Tax.
Checked on the License Agreement. Clicked on Install. Minute later it was done and launched.
Sign in to Intuit Account, had to get email code to enter.
Got License Code screen. Went and copied 16 digit code from email and pasted it into code box.
Got into program.
First thing I did was check for updates. Then I always go up to Online-Updater Preferences and check Ask me before getting updates.
