Yes you can order a CD for the 2022 TurboTax desktop editions here - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/

 

When the Download TurboTax window displays, click on the blue link I'd like to order a CD

FYI ... the plastic CD only has the beta version of the installation files on it and once you have installed the programming you need to still download all the updates for months. 

 

None of your returns are ever saved to the read only disc  and  you have to keep the disc safe for future use along with the activation code on the sleeve (of course this is if the CD shows up intact).   

 

The CD is really a useless piece of plastic but if you really want one then buy it at a local store cheaper than thru TT support.

Why don't you want to download Turbo Tax?  It is exactly the same as the CD but might be better if you want to install on another computer.  I used to use the CD but switched to the download method.  Had to this year as my laptop doesn't have a CD drive.  Actually I bought the CD from Costco then used the download option.

If your are replying to my request , for 2022, it is now 2024 and i do not see a   year such as 2022 on the link you provided . I do not see a window that says Download and then select a Cd. I have to use what is posted , buy it and then download the one for home business. So your reply is appreciated , however, the directions do not  seem to match what is presented.  I would attach a screen sot if i    c oud here but not sure i can

Also since i will be a small business, using Schedule C, i have to select the 130.00 option and i must accept "Automatic renewal"  and i do want to agree to that , whatever that may be , until i am satisfied with the product .

Thank you 

perhaps this information of my experience  will assist you in a reply.

interesting 

there is a shortcut for Schedule C and listing trades in the stock market as a business where i am a daytrader on my own in m;y home . This is what i learned from a previous reply of an expert or former customer.

@v1seibels Tax year 2022 is now a prior year, so the post from January 2023 showing a link is not valid anymore for tax year 2022.

 

Go to this TurboTax website to purchase and download one of the 2022 desktop editions - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/

@v1seibels   Since you have to buy the Desktop program for 2022 actually you can buy a lower version like Deluxe.  All the Desktop programs have the same  forms and features.  You  just get a little more help in the Home & Business version.

You will need a full Windows or Mac to install it on.
