TurboTax CD rom vs Online download

I purchased TurboTax CD Rom Deluxe for 2020.     I have a need to install it on a MAC that does not have a CD ROM.     Is there a way to download the software on the internet using the packaging to identify it?

There should be a card in the CD case that says how to download it and you will need the 14 or 16 digit code from it to enter.

 

How to download Turbo Tax instead of using the CD

To install on Mac.  I bought the CD from Costco and don't have a CD drive on the Mac.  Was able to download it.  It went very smooth. When you see the download on the screen to download, first click on the blue Copy Code link to the left.  Then after you install it and need to activate you can do Command + V to paste the code into the box.
