You can download your software directly from TurboTax.

  1. Go to InstallTurboTax.com.

  2. Set up a TurboTax account if you don't already have one. If you do, sign in. (If you don’t remember your credentials, you can walk through our Account Recovery page to see if you already have an account.)

  3. Enter your license code in the pop up window.

    • It’s a 16-character combination of letters and numbers (XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) that can be found on your CD box insert, envelope, or packing slip. (Note: The 2019 product has a 14-character code that looks like this: XXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX)

  4. Select your operating system, and select Get Download.

  5. Download your software and install.

    • When you get to the Your product is installed, now let's activate it screen, enter your license code in the License code box, and select Continue to complete installation.

Please click I bought the CD, but my computer doesn't have a CD drive to learn more.

I put the CD into my PC and nothing happened.  Then I got a message that said something about a firewall. I have used TurboTax for many years and I have never had this much trouble installing it. What can I do now ???

If your firewall is blocking the installation, you may need to turn it off to complete installation, after which you can turn it back on. For more information and additional troubleshooting steps, please see the below Help Article:

I have been trying for over an hour.  It won't download.

It gets stuck on the activation screen and a blue dot appears.

It just sits there. 

 

It never asks for a code or anything.

This really stinks - 

What a complete waste of time.....

And I already paid.
