    Why won't it run?  Where does it stop?  Windows or Mac?  Does your computer meet the system requirements?

     

    Windows system requirements
    https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/system-requirements/help/minimum-system-requirements-for-turbotax-windows-software/00/26175

     

    Mac System Requirements. For 2020 you will need macOS Mojave 10.14 or later
    https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/system-requirements/help/minimum-system-requirements-for-turbotax-mac-software/00/25609

     

    There should be a card that says how to download the program if you can't use the CD.    See How to install Turbo Tax if you can't use the CD

    It has failed in multiple spots with an error screen that is Opps or something like that.  Most recently failed after "Starting New Return".  I've sent in at least 3 reports on this form.

    I meet all requirements and have used Turbotax 2019 on this computer.  

    I think the cd is contaminated.  I just want a download, but when I try my authentication code says it can't be used again.  I used to load the cd.

    Help.  I don't know how to actually talk to a human.

    I've also purchased a new 2020 TurboTax Deluxe CD for Windows that will not launch. I have spent more than 7 hours online and on the phone with 4 different technicians trying to solve the problem. The 2nd person I talked with could not get the software to work after she did a desktop remote onto my Computer. We removed and reinstalled the software only to come up with the same error message, "Sorry an error has occurred and TurboTax must close", no error codes are generated. This technician then told me that she would waive the fee for me to complete my Tax return with the Online version and all I had to do was go complete it...... 3 Hours later after I finished doing my Federal and State taxes, the Online version asked me to pay the full price, which was significantly more than the CD version. I then called Customer service and spent another 2 hours with this technician repeating everything the previous technician did. I was then told that the Online version would be best for me but she did not have the authority to issue an online service code to eliminate the price. I was told that I would receive a call at 11am on Saturday Feb 13th from someone at TurboTax that could authorize the source code.... 11am Sat 13th, no calls. I called and had to wait on hold  2hrs 12 mins before someone answered the phone. This person did not really know what she was doing and told me that she was sending me a phone number that went directly to someone that could provide the source code. She sent a message resolved email to me with a link to a phone number that was for the TurboTax prepaid charge cards.  I then called back Sun Feb 14th and the technician also remoted onto my computer and went through the same steps but she also was unable to get the CD software to work. She then stated that Online Source codes will not be generated until Feb 26th and that I must call back then. Here are my Case Code #'s starting with the latest to the first one, [social security number removed], [social security number removed], [social security number removed], [social security number removed].

    I have been using TurboTax CD software for close to 20 years with never a problem until now.

    Do other CDs work in the drive?  You inserted it the right way up?  Some people put the CD in upside down.

     

    If you have WIndows 10 and the CD won't load see

    If you are using the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions for Windows, try this -

     

    Save the tax return.  Close the TurboTax program

    Right click on the TurboTax icon on your display

    Click on Properties

    Click on the Compatibility tab

    Check the box Run the program as an administrator

    Click on Apply and OK

     

    Start the TurboTax program and Continue the tax return.  See if the problem persist.

    Note - You may have to re-start the computer for the change to take.
