Our licensing agreement allows you to download your TurboTax software on all your computers -- there is no limit to download on your personal devices.

Note: you will need to download the .tax file as it will not download with the software.  Returns created with a TurboTax CD or download are only stored on your local computer.  Since your son is located in Australia, I would suggest using a secure file transfer program. Do not email as email is not secure.

To download the .tax file so it can be moved to another computer, follow these steps:
