    You can only install TurboTax Canada Desktop edition on 3 computers.

    Why do they need to be logged into the same Intuit account? In fact, why do they need to be logged into an account at all?

    You need an Intuit Account to use TurboTax Desktop for a few reasons:

    • You can be confident you’re downloading and activating an official Intuit product.
    • You can more easily install TurboTax Desktop on another computer because we’ll store your license code.
    • Our experts can more quickly help you because they’ll know what product you’re using.

    The Premier edition supports 12 returns - no where does it say on the packaging any other restrictions i.e. no mention of any limits on the number of computers. What is the installation limit for the Premier edition?

     

    Can I uninstall a license from one computer so that I can use it on another computer? My old computer isn't running well and I need to transfer things to my new computer.  What are my options?

     

    Your help would be appreciated:

    If you installed your software on your computer and now need to transfer your software to a new one, you can do that. It will allow you 3 installations.

     

    Your license code is saved on your account. 

     

    If you need any assistance, please contact our product support team.

    I will need to contact product support team since it is not working. I don’t understand why there is a limit on the number of computers the application is installed on since it is already enforcing the number of tax returns you can file. The purchase of the application license should allow more freedom and explicitly state what restrictions exist wrt installation. Thanks.
