I agree. Is great to have the code on DVD as we have a slow internet connection.

I totally agree that NO CD for 2024 Sucks! I've also used turbo tax for years. I'm going to check out other software before I use them again.

A CD is available for an additional $10 after you purchase the download and have the license code.

See this TurboTax website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/lp/ttd/4021/

that would be awesome BUT 16 code can't be found. I did instructions but they do not work and 1-800 line is only automated right now. I'll try tomorrow.

I agree wholeheartdly. I always like a cd also in case i change computers. I am a retired coporate tax employee and a CPA. I have used this for many years, however, may also consider changing this year. Turbtax has always marched to their own drummer withour regard to the user. I cannot even file electronically because you cannot attach certain elections or notices, therefore its more convenient to send in a physical return. I have discussed this and other operating issues with them numerous times over the years to no avail. It always amazed me that if I open up turbotax even after the tax year is closed it requires you to update!!?

I am not certin why unless they are always behind on updates. If this is true many could have filed an incomplete or inaccurate return.

@fkallbeejrgmail   If you change computers you can just download it again.  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.

Here is my Intuit Account with 2023 that I bought from Costco last  year.

I am very disappointed in your product since you made the decision to NOT provide a CD.  I am 77. Change is hard for elderly and I like to file away the CD.  I don't see any reduction in my cost even though I feel you are providing an inferior product.  After being a loyal customer for many years, if I find a company that has reliable product that provides a CD, I will no longer be a loyal customer of Turbo Tax.

I'm 77 and don't have a clue how to burn a CD.   I think Turbo Tax is cheap not to still offer a CD.

@shaechris50 We keep posting this information but unfortunately, users are not reading enough of this thread.  If you want a CD, you can purchase one after you have paid for the download and have your license key.

CHeap is right.  It costs cents to make a CD.  This is the kind of nonsense that is doing a lot of businesses in. 

[xrebp]

Me too!

If I can't get the Premier edition with a CD for $75 or less,  I will just pay a pro to do my taxes  and not have to deal with all kinds of security issues and hacking.

Amazon currently sells Premier for $82.99 as a download, which you can burn onto your own CD to have a backup copy.  The downloadable installer only installs the program to your own computer and has the same security as previous year's CDs.

Evidently @shaechris50 is correct about being able to obtain a CD once the license is purchased.  But that doesn't help purchasers outside the U.S. who, for some strange reason, could in the past only purchase TurboTax on a CD from Amazon.  Even if they wanted to purchase only a license, they couldn't. Only a CD.  This year, since there is no CD, it became impossible to purchase TT from Amazon. I finally found an internet site which would sell the license independent of the purchaser's location, but it cost $35 more than the cost at Amazon.
