Your question is posting from online Deluxe-----did you purchase the desktop download?

 

 

We see people get confused and they keep logging in to online software which will require them to pay at the end.   You need to use the desktop software.   One way to tell if you are using the right software---your tool bar.   Online software has the toolbar in a black vertical column on the left side of the screen.   Desktop software has the tools up on the top of your TT screen.

 

 

You appear to be posting from online software instead of the desktop download software that the license code is for.  If you are using online, you are using the wrong program.  You need to switch to the desktop software to get what you paid for.  You have to download it, update it and open it up from your own hard drive to use it.

@ romanwhales 

The link you provided looks like it could be for TurboTax Canada login.

Are you by any chance needing to prepare a Canadian return?  

Or did you end up at the Canadian TurboTax by accident?

 

What exactly did you buy at Costco, and was it a USA Costco or a Canadian Costco?  The Canadian Costco sells both the desktop and online versions (for Canadian returns), while the USA Costco only sells the desktop version for USA returns.

 

You are posting in the USA community forum.  But if it turns out your question is actually about TurboTax Canada, here's their support:
