It depends on what kind of code you have.

 

If you have a License Code, this is for Desktop software; and if you have an Activation Code, this is for Online software.

 

These are different software's and codes from one cannot be used in the other one. 

 

For TurboTax Online, you can activate your code to your account on this link

 

For TurboTax Desktop, you can download/install your software from this link

Your reply was COMPLETELY USELESS!    I already purchased the software through Amazon, and I don't need to purchase another copy of the software.  Why do you waste my time?

She didn't say anything about buying it again.   Do you have the License Code?   Let me try.....

 

Did you buy the License Code for the Desktop program OR for the Online versions? This year for 2025 some stores are selling a License Code for Online.
