I downloaded TurboTax for Mac from Amazon. Now I need to use Windows. The TurboTax CD/Downloads page would not accept my Activation key. How can I get the PC version?

I think you have to ask for the other download.

What is the Turbo Tax phone number

Thanks for the suggestion.  I contacted the phone support (twice, two different representatives) and they expected that form to work, but generally did not seem very knowledgeable.  The second one had me re-boot and then the call dropped and they closed the case without my consent.  I wonder if its because it's an "Amazon Exclusive" version.   I tried from Chrome on Mac and Windows and Edge on Mac. 

 

Any other suggestions would be welcome.   Is there a second tier support I could try?

Try the steps in the following link first to see if helps you troubleshoot the issue.

If that does not help, I would recommend contacting us again.  

 

Let the agent know what happened and request a code.  They should be able to escalate the request to a lead for support.

That was the trick.  I escalated to the next support tier and they sold me a new copy of the software for $0.00 which I was then able to download.  thanks.
