See this TurboTax support FAQ for the license code - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-topics/help/i-can-t-find-my-license-code/01/852973

We cannot connect you to anyone unfortunately.  However, here is a FAQ about how to find your license code that may help.

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-topics/help/i-can-t-find-my-license-code/01/852973

 

It tells you to to click "contact us" in the link if you still just cannot find it.  Hopefully you can get some customer support that way and find it.

There is no license code for the 2018 TurboTax desktop software.  The license code is only used for the 2019 TurboTax desktop software.

If it is asking for the License Code then it is trying to install or open the 2019 program.  The 14 digit License Code is a new thing for 2019.

Did you  buy it from Costco online or in the store?  I've done both.

 

I helped my friend buy the Mac program download from Costco. It went very well. You first get a confirmation email that says…..
"You will receive the redemption code, normally within the hour, via e-mail. To ensure delivery of your redemption code emails to you inbox, please add CostcoEDelivery@esd.synnex.com to your Email Address book or Safe list."

 

The 2nd email with the activation key came in 20 minutes. Make sure to write down or print out the 16 digit Key on the email. It is right above the Download Link. Then click on "Click Here" in the email to download the program and follow the install instructions.

@annmulligan4 If you obtained the TurboTax CD from an authorized retailer, your license code is printed on the front of the insert in your box.

 

If you can't find it, you may have purchased TurboTax Live in a retail box. See How do I activate TurboTax Live purchased through retail?

The answer depends on whether the Download or the CD was purchased. 

  • For the download, look in the order confirmation email or in the My downloads folder.
  • For the CD, look at the box, the packing slip or the CD envelope.

For more details, see: I can’t find my license code.
