I hope you are not right. I do my taxes by purchasing the CD. I have my installation CD for Tax Year 2000. But I installed it on a computer that I no longer have. I also have a floppy file of my 2000 taxes but thus far have been unsuccessful in trying to upload it to either my Windows 7 equipped Toshiba laptop or my old Windows XP equipped Dell desktop. Any ideas anybody??? Gene
The 2000 CD (or whatever the media was in 2000) probably will only install on a computer that has a 2000 era operating system, however the "out of the box" media is the first release of the tax software issued before the IRS forms are all finalized, and is useless without the updates that add the necessary forms. Updates for for 2000 are not available anywhere.
And if your return and tax file includes a state, it will not even load without first installing the state software which is not available for any year prior to 2014.
