is it true that turbo tax 2024 is no longer available in retail stores

Is it safe to buy it at Amazon?

Untrue.    What is different is that the software is a download this year----no CD in the package.   All of the tax software companies have eliminated CD's.   You can still purchase TurboTax desktop software from various retailers (including  amazon) and it will work just like always.   You just download instead of putting a piece of plastic into a disk drive.    If you really really want a CD you can order one after you pay for the download and have your license key.

You can also purchase the desktop download from various retailers such as Costco, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Sam’s Club, etc. etc. etc.

 

This link Where can I obtain authentic TurboTax software? has a list of authorized TurboTax resellers.

However, I believe that some of Turbotax's usual retail partners have decided not to carry the empty box.  It depends on the individual store.
