I was just having this same issue, but I just figured it out. So I thought I'd share in case you are still looking for an answer. Go to Your Account; then Digital Games and Software (under Digital Content and Devices section at the bottom middle); your TurboTax purchase should show there under Downloads and Codes; the license code will be the 16 digit code next to "Activation Key". Hope this helps!

how do i download Turbo Tax 2020
To complete and file a 2020 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2020 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/
A 2020 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed.

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created. TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

For a fee of $43 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

How to Access prior year online returns
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/00/27010
If you can't get the side menus to open up to access the prior year..... You need to start entering some basic Personal Info in 2021 for the side menu to open up. Just continue a little ways into 2021.
If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online. So you need to make and keep your own backups.
Or request a transcript from the IRS

I'm trying to do my taxes for 2020 and I purchased the delux package its not letting me download.
@mrgarman1974 Are you using a full PC or Mac? You cannot download the desktop software to any sort of mobile device.
First off - the url provided takes me to a link that does everything EXCEPT give me the ability to purchase and download the software - it defaults to 2022 with no way to fix or change the year.
Secondly - i cannot find a method that isn't a waste of time and defaults to the incorrect year.
Lastly - how the **bleep** are you supposed to contact someone to get help?
@rockerdown It sounds like you are going to the site for online software by mistake instead of the site for the prior year CD/download software.
Online preparation and e-filing for 2019 and 2020 and 2021 is permanently closed.
To file a return for a prior tax year
If you need to prepare a return for 2019, 2020 or 2021 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign, and mail the return(s)
https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/
You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.
Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
Note: The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac. It cannot be used on a mobile device.
What link are you using? You can buy 2020 here.

Good Day,
My name is {name removed}, I am very much in need of a tax expert to do my 2020,2021,2023
Please contact me at [email address removed] or {phone number removed}
Sorry, but the Live tax expert help is only available for the current tax returns that are being prepared for tax year 2022-- the tax year that just ended. (No one is preparing a 2023 return. That will happen next year when 2023 is over. ) They do not prepare returns for past years, or help with them. Only a 2022 return can be prepared using online TurboTax.
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/choosing-a-product/help/what-is-turbotax-live/00/27191
The other past years you mentioned can be prepared using the do-it-yourself tax software that you download to a full PC or Mac. Those returns have to be filed by mail. They cannot be e-filed.
If you do not want to/cannot prepare your own 2020 or 2021 returns you may want to seek local paid tax help.
Each tax year has to be filed separately using the forms for the specific tax year. They cannot be combined in any way--do not even put them in the same envelope when you mail them.
Do you have all of the documents you will need to enter and show your income—like your W-2’s and any 1099’s?

If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline. If you owe taxes, the interest/penalties will be calculated by the IRS based on how much you owe and when they receive your return and payment. The IRS will bill you for this; it will not be calculated by TurboTax.
