Cannot reach website to download the TurboTax Deluxe installation software

Hello,

 

I have tried and tried and tried to get to the URL to download the software.  I tried on a Windows Surface with Windows 11 and Lenovo with Windows 11.  When I type in InstallTurboTax.com, it spins and spins and spins.  I've tried it many times.  I stopped my VPN, I removed cache and cookies, and I rebooted and nothing works.

 

I can get to it the URL on my Android phone and it is on the VPN.

 

Any idea why I can't get to it on Windows 11? 

 

I've used TurboTax for many years and this is the first time that I can't get a download on my computer.  I prefer not to have to go to another software package.

 

Thanks for your help.

DOWNLOAD (This requires a full PC or Mac—-cannot be used on a mobile device)

 

https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/

 

You can also purchase the desktop download from various retailers such as Costco, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Sam’s Club, etc. etc. etc.

 

This link Where can I obtain authentic TurboTax software? has a list of authorized TurboTax resellers.

 

When you use desktop software, there is an additional fee to e-file a state return.  You can avoid that fee if you print, sign and mail the state return.

I did buy TurboTax from Costco and was trying to install it on my Windows Surface.  The link spins and spins and spins.  I tried to reach the URL on our Lenovo laptop and it does the same thing.  I only tried the link on my phone to see if the link can be reached there.  I could on my phone, but had no intention of downloading it there.

 

I've used TurboTax for years.  This experience is frustrating.  I think I may have to find another way to get my taxes done and abandon TurboTax.

That is the URL that won't work.  It spins and spins and spins.  I called support and she can't help me any further unless I share my screen with her.  I'm willing to share an image, but not access to my computer. So, I may find another tax software to use.

@CatinaT1,I'll try Incognito.  That crossed my mind, but I forgot about it.  Thanks.
