Can I do this year's turbo tax on an IPad instead of a laptop ?

You will not be able to install the desktop program to an iPad.  You will need to use a Windows or Mac computer.

I recently purchased turbotax for 2022 from Costco on-line, and it will not upload to my Apple mini 4 IPAD, using the Software Activation Keys provided on-line. I have 28 gb available and software version 15.7.2.  Please give instructions on how to upload.

No sorry,  you need a full Windows or Mac computer to install the Desktop program.  You can only use the Online web version on an iPad or mobile device.

You can't apply the Desktop CD/Download purchase to Online.  You have to pay for Online separately.  You will have to get a refund for the Desktop program.  Then you can use the Online web version.  Or try to find a computer to install it on.  The CD has both Windows and Mac programs on it.

Can I install turbo tax 2022 on my apple iPad

[VolvoGirl]

No.  Just the mobile app.  Read the posts above.

What does that mean apply using mobile apt.  I usually download to my computer but now your operating system will not download to my older operating system.  So can I download online to my iPad which is new?

The mobile app is just a portal to the online browser version.

If you can't install the Desktop program, you can use the Online version.

You can't apply the Desktop CD/Download purchase to Online.  You have to pay for Online separately.  You will have to get a refund for the Desktop program.  Then you can use the Online web version.  Or try to upgrade your computer or find another computer to install it on.  The CD has both Windows and Mac programs on it.

Or Call in for a refund. When you fill out the from use the word BILLING ISSUES instead of the word “refund.” Contact Customer Service 5am-9pm Pacific time 7 days a week, https://support.turbotax.intuit.com/contact

They might give you a service code to use the online version.

If you used the Desktop program last year here’s How to transfer into the Online version, expand the blue link if you used the CD/download last year

If you used the Desktop program before you may notice several differences and not like the online version.  It has less features and no Forms Mode.  You can only do 1 return.  Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2022 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done.  In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something.  You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.

Yes, but not the full story. From my read, one can only prepare one tax return with the online version.

For tax planning purposes, I need to complete a second version, in particular, an estimated next year 2024 tax return based on estimated RMD's for the following year, so I can estimate and set proper withholding for the coming year.  I copy my current return to a new name i.e. “Estim 2024” and throw in new 2024 numbers where needed. It's not perfect, because new tax rates and standard deductions are not fully known. but close enough and I can override some numbers. 
Fifteen years or so ago TurboTax provided and included the ability to more easily estimate “next” year's taxes. It was great. But recently too problematic to do so now given so many tax and rule changes every year. IRS and CA don’t even finalize their current forms until fye, if we are lucky.
