Sorry ... you need to get a refund of the downloaded program you cannot use and then pay the totally separate online fee ... the downloaded activation code will not work on the online system.

The TurboTax online editions are separate programs from the desktop editions with different price points. You can use any of the TurboTax online editions with your Chromebook computer - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/
The license code you received for the desktop software is NOT used with the online editions.
It is unfortunate. I own a Windows PC only for the purpose of TurboTax. The rest of the time I use a Chromebook. The disk version of TurboTax is the least expensive.
