How do I find my license code for TurboTax Desktop?

by TurboTax•2985• Updated 2 days ago

Your license code is a 16-character combination of letters and numbers (XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) that verifies the software and allows you to finish installing and begin using TurboTax.

Where you'll find it depends on how you purchased TurboTax. Find your situation below for more info.
