To activate and install your TurboTax CD/Download software, you'll need the license code, a 16-character (or 14-character for 2019 products) combination of letters and numbers (XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) that can be found:

  • On the CD box insert, envelope, or packing slip; OR
  • In the Download confirmation email and/or order history

Insert the CD

 

Enter the license code in the License code box on the activation screen and select Continue to complete installation.

You’re free to use the same license code to install the software on up to five computers; you'll need to purchase another license if you need more.

If you need help installing, select your computer for more info:

How does it take to activate.   It is now 10 minutes.  I am thinking this is a bad code what do I do now?
