How can I load turbotax into my Macbook Pro? I know I can't use the turbo tax cd. Can Turbotax download it into my computer??

If you have a MacBook Pro (no internal CD), you have a couple of options to install TurboTax on your device. You can purchase an external CD drive in order to use a TurboTax CD or you can download the program.

Example for external CD drive - https://www.amazon.com/VersionTech-External-Superdrive-Macbook-Package/dp/B01LAC7VVM/ref=sr_1_1_sspa...

TurboTax and Amazon offer downloads.

Yes.  Download it instead.  Downloading better for many reasons.

 

There should be a card in the CD case or on the CD envelope that says how to download it and you will need the 14 or 16 digit code from it to enter.
