Not good! You shouldn't be facing issues during installation. Can you please provide the details of the error you see?
The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "TurboTax Deluxe 2016" can't be read or written (Error code -36)

Tried on two Macs. One with 10.9.5 and the other with 10.10.5. Ran disk utility on both & found no errors. Stops copying at around 50mb on each Mac. Ample available disk space and RAM on both.
Since it's doing it on 2 computers, could be a problem with the CD.
Are you a TurboTax Advantage member (annual subscription) by any chance? If so, there should already be a complimentary download file in your download account:

Otherwise, you can phone TurboTax Support on Monday and ask them to let you try installing from a download.

I downloaded a copy and installed with absolutely no issues. Thanks!
Bad CD. Exchange at the place you bought it. If you bought it through the Turbotax Advantage Program, you should also have a downloadable installer in your online account. Log into turbotax, click My Account/Account Tools/Billing and Shipping/Edit/Downloads and Unlocks.
If you bought the CD direct from turbotax without the advantage program, call the support line on Monday. For customer support hours and link, see below. Use the web form and type your question or a keyword. You will get an appropriate phone number for your issue. (You will not get a phone number if you use the link outside of operating hours.) https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3300041
