Why aren't previous license codes saved in my account?

I have purchased Turbotax every year for at least 10 years.  Most of the time, I buy the CD version and then go online to my Intuit account and enter the license code so that I can download and install it.  I was under the impression that these license codes would be saved to my account.  I see the previous versions under my history when I go to purchases and downloads.  However, when I go to download a previous year, it's asking for the license code again.  So Intuit expects me to save the license codes somewhere else (keep the cases, save the codes on my laptop, etc) instead of saving them for me?

 

I don't understand why the codes that I pay for and then enter online are not saved to my account.  That's how it works for most other software licenses.  I can go to my Microsoft account and see every license I've ever purchased, whether the code was purchased was digital or physical.

Try the link below (you will need to log in) and click Downloads. You should see your license codes directly below the product year and name.

Did you find them?  Mine are all still there.

Thank you both!  So strange that going to my account under Intuit doesn't show the same.

Maybe you have another account?  It's common to end up with multiple accounts. First LOG OUT of whatever TurboTax account you're logged into right now. Then use this TurboTax account recovery website to get a list of user ID's for an email address. Run the tool against any email addresses you may have used

Same account, didn't even have to log in with the other link since I was still logged in.  It's just poor organization on the Intuit side.  Going to the site via the Intuit account login shows my previous Desktop versions without the license codes saved.  Using the other link works as I expected, with the license codes showing.
