Last years turbotax 2020 is requesting the license code. Why is it doing that and can I get the code from TurboTax Intuit?

I used it for my taxes last year so I have already entered the license code.

Make sure your computer is the same way when you originally installed it.  Like with no flash drives plugged in or plugged in if one was.  It asked me again so I just closed the program and took out a flash drive that was plugged in and tried again.  It worked.  Or you may need to connect a flash drive or printer or something that was connected when you originally installed the program.

 

 

You need a 14 digit (for 2019) or 16 digit (for 2020) License Code to activate the Desktop program.

Or you need to call in and get a new License Code.
