Why does Intuit website and service suck so bad?

[lkflit]

I have never, in my entire life, had so many problems just buying a product from a company. All I wanted was to buy the PC version of Turbotax 2024 and download to my computer. I spent weeks trying to make this work via intuits website and customer service. There is no easy way to just buy the **bleep** product from the website. I kept getting pushed to use Turbotax online, which I have zero interest in. Over many weeks I spent hours on the phone with customer support. No luck. I finally gave up and just went to Amazon and bought the product there. Easy peezy. It says something when a company's website and hours of customer service cannot answer the simple question, how can I buy your product. If I had not been a Turbotax customer for years I would have just quit and used another product. If this happens again next year I am done with Turbotax.

@lkflit 

Yeah, but it's actually worse for the folks who want to start with a particular version of the "Online" program.

____________________

Anyhow, for navigating to the desktop software, from the main "Online" page:

1)   you go to the top of the screen and hover over "Do it Yourself".

then 

2)  Select "Doing taxes with Desktop software"

...and you're there    (my prices may be different from yours as I might have a "cookie" from Fidelity)
