I need to speak to a live person about how to download 2023 (prior year) software that I have already purchased and have key for

I bought 2023 turbotax in 2024 from Costco.  Life was difficult, so just now filing 2023 taxes (March 2025).  I have spent over 3 hours trying to figure out how to download 2023 turbotax with the key.  a few days ago I spoke with 2 live people, spending over 2 hours. The second person, a supervisor, was supposed to call me back the next day.  Either she didn't, or perhaps I missed the call.  Now, I'm trying again, and cannot even reach a live person.  The automatic person is highly dysfunctional, and does not process apparently what is being said, even when I respond to her questioning with her words.  Although I state when asked that I'm calling about downloading a prior years software, she. only responds with information about amending a return.  nothing else.  I called 3 times and get caught in the horrible loop.  I go online,, and can only access the community help, no access to a live person.  Last year, when I did 2022 taxes, I did not encounter this problem, I was allowed to download the software.  This is flipping crazy!!   WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET TO A LIVE PERSON SO I CAN DOWNLOAD AND USE 2023 SOFTWARE, FOR WHICH I HAVE A KEY AND HAVE NEVER USED?   THANK YOU.

If you are in the U.S., you can find the page to download earlier versions of Turbotax by doing the following:

1.  Go to the Intuit Turbotax page:   turbotax.intuit.com

2.  In the header of that page, select the "File your taxes" option which will open a list of choices.

3.  From the list of choices, select "File your taxes for a prior year."

That should open the page letting you find earlier versions of the software.
