Very helpful. Edge won't bring up the pop-up window but Chrome did. Resolved and downloaded. Thank you!

As of January 17, 2021, does not work if you have an existing account: no way to enter code Edge or Chrome or Firefox; Windows 10 Pro.

@ThatSurferGuy  What happens?  How far do you get?  Do you get a blank white activation box?  Have you seen the posts about changing the screen resolution?  See this post for a couple things to try like changing your screen resolution to 800x600

How can you buy a download.

I've used turbo tax before on line but heard it was cheaper to buy your own download

You can buy the CD/Download here,

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

You need a full Windows or Mac computer to install it on.

Desktop you buy and install the program which can do unlimited returns.  The returns are only saved on your computer and can not be accessed from anywhere else.  And not saved at Turbo Tax.  So Be sure to save Frequently and make backups.  You get 5 federal efile for free.  In Deluxe and above you get 1 state PROGRAM download to prepare unlimited state returns (in that state).  Each state return including the first one is $20/25 to efile or you can print and mail the state for free.

Desktop also has many other features and advantages over the Online version.  You can do more than 1 return.  You can see and enter into the actual forms.  And you can use a lower version because all the Desktop versions have ALL the same forms.  You just get more help in the higher versions.  In online you have to upgrade to enter certain kinds of income.  Like Premier for investments.

You can buy the Desktop CD/Download program now here,

If you started 2020 online we can tell you how to switch to the Desktop program without paying for online and without starting over.

If you buy the Desktop program we can tell you how to transfer a 2019 Online return into 2020 Desktop.
