I bought a new computer and need to load 2024 Turbo tax on it. The old computer is wiped clean. How do I reactivate for new computer?

There is no phone or chat available.

To move the TurboTax program to a new computer, you must install the software again using your original CD or download link. Sign In to your Intuit Account, and access 'Your Products/Downloads'.

You can copy your tax data files (ending in .tax20XX) to a removable drive and transfer them to your new computer. Look in Documents > TurboTax for your files, or search your computer.

Here's more info on Moving Tax Files to a New Computer.
