I always use Turbo Tax on a CD. Are CD's going to be available in 2024

@steve c3 You can do that if you want to.   All of the other tax software companies have eliminated CD's and only offer downloads, though.

I am a retired tax preparer. I still provide tax services on a volunteer basis for handicap and other disabled persons as well as homeless folks in my area for tax support. I provide guidance to folks unfamiliar to Snohomish County, Washington State, Low income and Seniors tax form submissions to Washington State Property Tax Applications. I receive NO income for this support as an unpaid support volunteer. I have previously worked as an unpaid volunteer for United Way, Snohomish County, Washington, and AARP of Everett, Washington.  The Tax forms are submitted several times though the year and having my clients, who pay for Turbo Tax on their own, need to resubmit forms and resubmitted several times, due to the variance in defining income per WAC and / or expenses based on Medicare and medicad expenses also under WAC guidelines. I do not prepare the forms but I do review their prior submissions and try to resolve issues these needed people face. Therefore, I request a copy of 2024 Turbo Tax CD to continue my volunteer work as it make the submission process simplified. I have been using Turbo Tax going back to 1981.

@Seattle49er When you have purchased the download and have your license key, you can purchase a CD.

Thank you for the great volunteer work!

You can still get and use the Desktop installed program.  It’s just the method to install it.  The download is exactly the same as the CD.  You can buy an install CD for $10 after you buy the download and License Code for the version you want.

How are you using it?  Do you efile returns for your clients or are they using the Online version?  I don’t understand your post.  They need to resubmit and resubmit several times?  Are they amending their returns?  Turbo Tax is just to file your federal and state tax returns.

This is complete bull**bleep**. Turbo Tax wants everything to be downloads because it saves them millions of dollars on CD manufacturer. When computer crashes you have no CD to reinstall. Yet the price keeps going up every year though.

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

Did you install the CD last year for 2023?  See if it is listed in your Turbo Tax  account. Access your downloads here

Hi, 

What is this for $10 ??

[VolvoGirl]

If you missed my list above it is just an install CD.

You can buy an install CD for $10 AFTER you buy the download and License Code for the version you want.

Been using the product for almost 20 years. No CD this year so I have to make my own media for recovery purposes or when I get a new computer. Forced  login to register license. More likely so they can rent/sell my information to partners than any other reason.  I can't think of many more ways you can make using your product less desirable. Oh wait there is one, the user interface has been steadily declining year over year as more and more functions are being forced to the web. 

[TaxerLNR]

NOT THE SAME.! WITHOUT THE DISC I HAVE NO HARD COPY AND NO REFERENCE TO NEXT YEAR. SO AFTER 26 YEARS WITH TURBO TAX GOOD BYE!

BAD BAD DECISION. JUST BAD

[VolvoGirl]

@TaxerLNR    The Download program is EXACTLY the same Desktop program as the CD. You buy it the same way directly from Turbo Tax or in stores like Costco. When you installed the CD you still had to go online to update it. It's only the method you use to install it. Even when I bought the CD I used the download method to install it. Don't confuse the Download with the Online web version.

You can burn the installation file to a CD or save to a usb flash drive. My Windows Download program is listed under Downloads and is named Windows_PC_TurboTax_Downloads.exe

But 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). Access your downloads here

When I download Turbo Tax,  will any of my information be stored on any server anywhere?

I thought the CD gave more privacy. 

[T_Brute]

I might consider Block.
