I purchased turbo tax Business 2018 from softwarediscountusa.com. Can I verify the download file is legitimate?

"Can I verify the download file is legitimate?"

The company is not an authorized reseller. 

Software developers play whack-a-mole with these people; they shut them down and they pop up somewhere else. 

This company uses a domain name registration protector based in Panama:

Well, your WHOIS does not show Panama.  It shows USA.

 

However, this company has 1-star angry reviews that 4 out of 5 downloads were used up, so they couldn't put the software on another computer.

 

softwarediscountusa.com should be suspect to anyone, as they have NO ADDRESS, nor can you find one.
