Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Jan 2025.  I had to uninstall TurboTax Deluxe 2023 from my computer.  I then used download from my online TurboTax account to reinstall.  However, when I opened my tax file, it gave me an error message that I had to purchase a state program, which should be free.  Multiple uninstall and reinstall and failures.  My new computer did not have CD drive, so I copied the 2023 tax year CD to a USB drive using an older PC.  On my new computer I uninstalled Turbo Tax 2023.  Then I went into Registry Editor and searched on word Turbo to delete any reference to Turbo Tax 2023.  It takes a while.  Then using the USB I installed Turbo Tax 2023 and it automatically downloaded the New York state program for me.  I hope this helps someone.
