Get your taxes done using TurboTax
TurboTax 2021 install fails on Activation - screen is blank. This is a resolution and scaling issue.
-copy code (if you have to, type it out on something on your computer: notepad, word, sticky note, ect. Highlight and Copy/Ctrl+C)
-open TT download to blank screen
-open display (start>setting >system> resolution for Windows) or right click on the desktop and chose display setting from the pop-up box
- change to 800 X 600 ( or something close, remember the original)
-keep changes (everything is going to be huge)
-go back to TT
-(Even though they won't see it happening) click the box where the LC goes
-Ctrl+V and then hit Enter on the keyboard
-you won't see anything
-Go back to display and change back to original resolution
go back to TT -you should now see the license code
-select activate/enter (you may need to close and reopen, but you should be taken to the register screen or the turbotax home screen.
