Replies from VolvoGirl helps a lot. Thank you!
I kept the CD's so I used them to reinstall the old Turbo Tax software, although I can download them from intuit.com, per VolvoGirl's recommended URL links. When you re-install these older version of Turbo Tax, the installation program will prompt you to download the state software. If you have simple tax return that requires only one state, then the "single" state download is free. No issue here, so log into your intuit account and download. Continue on with the installation as prompted on the screen. Done!
However, if you have more than 1 state, then the installation software requires you to purchase the additional state downloads which undoubtedly you had already paid for when you first install this version of Turbo Tax years ago. Stop here and exit the installation program. Next, download the required state software you had already purchased from your intuit account. You can find these files in the
[ Product & Billing ]
link in your account. Go to this link and click the right-arrow [ > ] key in your Turbo Tax product's section. It brings you to all the Turbo Tax products you had bought in past years. Click on the
[ Manage My TurboTax ] icon.
This will bring you to your "Turbo Tax Account" page. Click on the
[ download ] link
to get to the download page. Scroll down until you find the state software product that you had paid for, and click on the
[ Window Download ] button.
This will download an .exe file which will install the state software product on your computer.
Once you download all the purchased state software for the year you are trying to re-install, go back and launch the Turbo Tax installer again. It will not prompt you for state downloads, and continue to install the Turbo Tax software.
You will have to do this to re-install older Turbo Tax business version since they don't come with a free state download. The process is the same -- try to re-install the software until it prompts you to download the state. Exit the installation software and download and run the .exe from your intuit account. Go back and re-launch the installation software and continue to install the Turbo Tax product as instructed.
