Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I turned on my USB-connected Canon printer to print out a Quicken Tax Summary and TT started asking me for an activation code.   I've been using TT all day doing different returns and jumping between different returns; I'll bet I've opened and closed TT thirty times today alone, with no problems.

Turned the printer off and got in again with no problems.......

Yes, adding or removing a USB device can sometimes make the TurboTax program think there's been a system change such as a new computer, and it can ask for activation again.   My USB thumb drive caused the same thing to happen to me.   Another user also reported an SD card did the same thing in his situation.  He had removed the SD card and was asked to re-activate, so he had to put it back in.  So it apparently can work in either direction, depending on the system setup when installed.
