I purchased a deluxe version of TT at Costco. How do I apply the license code that came with the purchase to my tax return rather than enter a credit card?

Sorry no.    Did you get the download installed? You seem to be in the Online version not the Desktop program you bought.

I see people all the time that have bought the CD/Download Desktop Software but then somehow ending up using the Online version and didn't know it. If that happened to you, you can move your Online file to the Desktop program and continue without paying for Online or needing to reenter your info.

Sorry you can't apply the Desktop CD/Download program and License Code to the Online version. They are separate prices and work different.

You need to install the program on your computer and move your online return to the Desktop program. You can download the .tax2021 data file without paying for Online and continue in the desktop version. First download the .tax2021 file from Online. How to Save the tax file
