 Answered by TurboTax FAQ to this question

I purchased a cd, not download version. I have no downloads available in my turbo tax account.

Ok .... can you reinstall the program from the CD?

No because I bought a MacBook Air which has no cd drive.

Well you should have said that to begin with ...


This FAQ explains how to handle a situation where you bought  a CD, but don't have a CD drive on your computer: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2590568">https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2590568</a>

Another quicker method is to use another computer to copy the *.exe installation file from the CD Rom to a flash/thumb/usb drive, then insert that drive into the first computer and install from the flash/thumb/usb drive.  Do not try to run the install file from the removable medium.

Or you can talk to TT Customer Support and see if they will place a download in your online account or advise you of your options.    Here's how to be assigned a phone number to the proper department at TT Customer Support during the business hours shown below (it will not display when they are closed).  Read all the steps first.

1) Go to <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://support.turbotax.intuit.com/contact/">https://support.turbotax.intuit.com/contact/</a>
2) Choose the product platform you are using.
3)  Ask a question or keywords without quotes, and Submit.
4)  On next page, skip the suggested articles if they don't help.
5) Scroll down, and you should be able to enter the Support module to get a phone number. (That will be grayed out when they are closed).

I have installed turbotax Business for 2016 and tried to open my tax file.  It opens asking for the password and once I typed it in it tries to open the file but will not because it says I have to download the state software.  I believe it was Error 109.  What do I do?

Install the state software ... click on ONLINE in the menu bar

Thanks for reply.   I'll try but I had to purchase and download state from turbotax and when I click on download I get message that it expired or something to that extent.

Regarding Critter#2 answer, I tried the online on menu bar to download state software but I'm getting error code 190 that session has timed out?
