If I remove turbotax from my computer can I reinstall it using the disk? i.e., can the turbotax disc be installed more than once? Thank you

Hello back28tmpj!

Yes, you can certainly use the disk you already have to reinstall TurboTax. Since you have previously installed I'm assuming that you already know the steps required to re-install. Ill be more than happy to provide those steps If required.

Best regards and thank you for using TurboTax!

Please advise how I go about taking Turbotax off this computer.  I have copied my returns.  Want to remove before I dispose of computer.  Thank you,

Cannot figure out how to open 2019 disk.  Have transferred to Applications, on MAC, but keeps telling me to update.  Still will not open to my 2019 taxes.

If I delete the turbo tax program and reinstall it, will I lose the returns I've already started.

No.  The tax returns are in a separate data file ending in .tax or .tax2020 .tax2019 .tax2018, etc. and any pdf files you saved.   If you are on Windows they should be in your Documents in a Turbo Tax folder.

You can install your TurboTax software on up to 5 computers. However, the install method you choose initially (i.e., installing from the disk) is what you will need to use to install on a second computer. 

Can I install TurboTax on more than one computer?

I purchaSED CALIFORNIA STATE prep software, but it doesn't work properly (2021) How do I fix it?

What's wrong with the state?  Did you download and install it?  Have you updated the program?  Go up to Online-Check for Updates.  Are you on Windows or Mac?
