I purchased Turbotax at Staples and realized that you need a CD/DVD drive to install the program. Do I have to return the program and install it via the internet?

I have an IMAC with only USB drives

This FAQ explains how to handle a situation where you have a CD, but don't have a CD drive on your computer:  https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2590568

Another quicker method is to use another computer to copy the *.exe installation file from the CD Rom to a flash/thumb/usb drive, then insert that drive into the first computer and install from the flash/thumb/usb drive.
