Hi, I've never been so frustrated with Turbo Tax. I purchased a cd/download version of 2021 Premier Turbo Tax from Amazon which I have used for the past three years.  In the past I have been able to talk with a tax expert. After all morning on the phone, I am told I have to purchase an upgrade to live, but I am unable to do this. I believe I read somewhere that one cannot get an upgrade if using this format? Help!

You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.

TurboTax Live is not available in the TurboTax CD/Download software, it is only offered in TurboTax Online. Please see the below TurboTax help article for more information.

How do I get TurboTax Live?

Thanks for your answer. So how can I talk to someone that will help me with tax questions? No one will tranfer me to a tax expert when I call. They say I'm not eligible unless I upgrade, which I can't. Frustrated.

Hi, thanks for responding. The person they let me talk to is a "product specalist" only. They cannot answer any tax questions as they are not educated in any tax areas.
