You can still install TurboTax if you don't have a built-in or external CD drive.

Start by setting up your TurboTax account if you don't already have one with us.

Then, contact us and a Support Representative will push a download into your TurboTax account.

Once that's been done, simply sign in to My Downloads to download your TurboTax software.

So do I have to return the CD that I had already purchased?

My old computer is Windows 7 and about  10 years old, had a CD drive.
My new computer is compatible, but does not have a CD drive.

No. You can use the license code from your purchased CD to download the program. 

 

See: I bought the CD, but my computer doesn't have a CD drive for more details.

I bought the Turbotax Premium CD at Target store and didn't realize that my new computer didn't have a CD drive.  Can I download it with a code?
