No 2024 Premiere CD available

What a rip-off!  Now we users have to go to the expense of buying a thumb drive AND burning our OWN CD?  Just not acceptable.  TurboTax used to be best in the industry and this is a cop-out.  Not looking forward to waste MY time and money on a thumb drive AND a CD for future use besides the exorbitant price of a download.  If your service is available with software download only, how about a discount on the price?  A lose-lose situation for your LOYAL customers!

Why do you need both CD and thumb drive?  You only need either one if you want to save the installation file.  Even if you bought the CD before you could use the download method to install it.  I always bought the CD from Costco.  But last year for 2023 I bought the download from Costco online.  Installed it real fast. It was the same as the CD.  Most of the laptops and computers now don't have a CD drive.  And I had to get a new laptop with Windows 10 to run Turbo Tax starting for 2022.

Since you now have to log into an Intuit Account all your downloads and licenses are listed there (even if you bought it from somewhere else) so if you need to download to install it again or install on another computer, even on the other operating system (Windows, Mac).

You can buy a thumb drive (USB flash drive) large enough for the TurboTax install file for less than $5 (if you even feel the need to do that, which is not necessary).

CDs have gone the way of the Dodo bird.  Very few computers have CD drives now.  No tax software comes on a CD.  All have to be downloaded.   Another memory from the 1900's like fax machines, VCRs, tape players, and floppy disks.
