You appear to be posting from online software instead of the desktop CD/download software that the license code is for. If you are using online, you are using the wrong program. You need to switch to the desktop software to get what you paid for at Costco. You have to download it, update it and open it up from your own hard drive to use it.

The cost you're paying is probably for filing your state return. The Federal return is free, State return $20
