Where in the download would I find the access code?

There is no access code with my turbo tax download.  How do I find it and I only have one download??

Me too, I don't think I had this issue last year. 

It's stupid 5 families have the same TurboTax account seems like this is what being asked for, when you try to download it.

I ended up buying an external CD drive to install TurboTax. I was able to install TurboTax without an issue using the external drive. A USB drive can be  purchased from Amazon for about $22.

I have the same problem.  Bought a CD for DLX 2022 and installed it using the CD onto my desktop. No issue. Then I copied the CD files onto a USB and from the USB copied the files to a laptop hard disk.  All Win 10.  The laptop installed from the copied files fine, and asked me to put down the license code and signed in on my intuit account.  All good, install on the laptop a success.  Then, I copied the CD files onto another USB and have my son install it on his laptop, from the USB.  He got the "..license code ...associate with another account..." message and install stopped. I called Turbotax, and was told to uninstall and reinstall.  No luck. There was no uninstall since the install was not successful.  Called again the next day, for an hour the lady tried to solve it for me by asking her supervisor.... back and forth for an hour.  Finally, she said her sup said since I bought the CD from Amazon, I have to go to Amazon to resolve it.  However, for good grace, she would sell me a new license for 10% discount.  I told the lady this was not acceptable but she didn't know what to do - she could not give me a new license code to get over this problem, no authority.  Her supervisor is called MS Saith B.  Then Saith said may be Amazon sold me a used license.   Not the lady's fault, she doesn't know much.  The supervisor did not want to understand. I want to write a formal complain to Turbotax. Anybody know where I could write to? Please help.  I am not the only one who has this problem.  I noticed it is a problem dated back several years back.  Passing the buck is not good customer service.  Turbotax treats customers like sh....

For future reference ... only use the download option instead of the installation file on the CD to avoid this issue.

I used an external DVD drive to install mine. Cost under $25. It was worth it to get past the problem. Use the original passcode.

Have you used the license code on 5 different computers already, as TurboTax can only be installed on up to five computers using the same license code?

 

If this is not the case, please see the FAQ link provided below for further assistance:

I have used only 2 copies.  However, thanks for all the responses to help me. The final solution is that for a CD turbotax you can copy the original CD to another CD and then install it from the copy.  No USB.  I believe you can also use the original CD and install from it multiple times and up to as many as allowed on your license. 

Thanks again you all.

The key is the Intuit support needs to know this!  My call to them ended up in a person who does not know what I was talking about.

If you're unable to install the remaining copies of your TurboTax software, please reach out to TurboTax Customer Support for assistance. 

What is the TurboTax phone number?
