I want to start my 2023 tr, but when I log in TT offers only the 2022 ty. I have alraedy done my 2022 tr somewhere else. How can I get TT to 2023 ty?

i am ready to buy 2023 TT in my account.
Do I need to create another TT account for 2023 tr?

[SteamTrain]

"Online" browser-based software?

NO......don't create another account.

The issue is that the 2023 "Online" software has not been implemented for use yet.  TTX has shutdown the "Online" software to get set up for the 2023 tax season.   The 2023 stuff will be up and running sometime in December.

Or, do you mean the Desktop software, that you must install and run on a Full MAC or Windows computer.

Those purchases (if you want them directly from TTX) are here:   

TurboTax® Desktop 2023-2024 | Tax Software Download (intuit.com)

Don not buy "Basic" download software if you have a state to prepare..

Thanks for the reply but I  have the situation not very clear. 

I thought to use TT for my 2022 TR but then I decided not to use it and went with a tax preparer professional.

Now I am planning to use TT for my 2023 TR. 

When I log into TT, the ONLY thing I can do is to start my 2022 TR (that by the way i have donealready).

I assume it is because TT 2023 software is not out.

So when TT2023 software will be out I will be able to start my 2023 TR.

As a side question, why to use online versus Desktop version of TT?

@emiliocecchi    Online vs Desktop

There are 2 ways to use Turbo Tax. You can use the Online browser version or buy and install the Desktop program.

The Online web version is only good for one account and one return. You can log in and access your return from any computer. You only can see the forms after you pay and download the pdf. And you might need to upgrade to a higher version to enter different kinds of income.   And you can add LIVE service or Full Service for expert help. In Online the fees are to prepare the federal and state returns (State is a separate charge) whether you efile or print and mail. Efiling is free and included. You can Transfer from last year's Desktop program.

The CD/Download Desktop you buy and install the program, which can do unlimited returns. The returns are only saved on your computer and can not be accessed from anywhere else. And not saved at Turbo Tax. So Be sure to save Frequently and make backups. You get 5 federal efile for free. In Deluxe and above you get 1 state PROGRAM download to prepare unlimited state returns (in that state). Each state return including the first one is $20 early or $25 to efile or you can print and mail the state for free. The Desktop programs do not have the expert help that is available to add to Online versions.

Desktop also has many other features and advantages over the Online version. You can do more than 1 return. You can see and enter into the actual forms. It has a What-If worksheet. And you can use a lower version because all the Desktop versions have ALL the same forms. You just get more help in the higher versions. In online you have to upgrade to enter certain kinds of income. Like Premier for investments.

And the Desktop program is always available even after the year ends. Which is good if you ever need to amend your return after online website is closed or get audited and need your tax records.

You can buy the personal Desktop CD/Download program here,

Same thing is happening to me.  Did you solve the problem?

[BillM223]

Are you trying to use the Online or Desktop version of TurboTax? You should not even be able to get to a 2022 version of the Online product, since that was suspended last October.

And as for the desktop version, to use it for 2023, you will need to buy a new 2023 version of the desktop version.
