I uninstalled Turbo Tax and now need it back. Do I have to pay for it again?

When you uninstall the app or program, it does not remove the "data" that you saved.  Simply reinstall it from your source installation media (CD ROM) or visit the download site you purchased it from.  I like to purchase this software on Amazon, that way if I ever need it again I can simply download it again and don't have to worry about location the CD/DVD.

To answer your question directly, no.  As long as it's the same year you already purchased.  Example, this is 2019 and you are completing your 2018 taxes.  You purchased 2018 software, uninstalled and now need to reinstall it.  You do NOT need to purchase it again.
