Error 606 when trying to install

I bought the 2024 version from BJs and when I enter the license code I get error 606. Granted I am a year late attempting to use the software, but I have not had this problem before. I purchased the Home and Business Edition.

Error 606 when trying to install

Error code 606 means you are entering an invalid license code. Did you purchase Desktop Software or Online Software? There is a difference between a License Code (for Desktop) and an Activation Code (for Online). You are trying to enter a Code for TurboTax Online in a Desktop software (or vice-versa). 

 

Look on your box from Staples and it will distinguish between TurboTax Online and TurboTax Desktop. They are not the same software, and codes from one cannot be used in the other. 

 

 If your box is for TurboTax Online, you can activate your code to your account on this link

 If your box is for TurboTax Desktop, you can download/install your software from this link

Error 606 when trying to install

I purchased the home and business desktop version on Amazon and the activation code isn't working. Error 606.  It didn't give me a license code.  How do I get this fixed?
