Starting for 2024 tax returns they only sell the Desktop program as a download. Sorry no more CDs. And I think it’s the same for all the tax companies. Why do you need the CD?
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. Even 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.
The confusion people have is that the Online version is NOT the Download Desktop program.
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). Andy the download will have all the updates to date.
