Question

I purchased TuboxTax Premier 2017 from Tax Pros. What is the hash value for the downloaded file, or how can I be assured that the file is authentic?

They are not an authorized retailer.

For various reasons, that information will not be provided.  Others have asked, and I have never seen it answered.

It's a Buyer Beware situation.  (Plus, why would TT want to help an unauthorized reseller pick their pockets.)

If you are concerned, get a refund and buy from a legit reseller.

I think that there are about 10 different versions of TurboTax between Windows and Mac and there have been probably 10 or more updates to each and more updated to come.  Every one  would have a different hash.  A good hacker can add malware and make the hash anything that they want.  Hash is no guarantee that it does not contain malware.
