Question

License code, where do I enter for ONLINE turbotax?

I have used TurboTax ONLINE for years and never had trouble before. I have purchased my TT Deluxe from the store since it's a good deal. I don't want to load it on my computer via CD or DL when there is no need.

Why does TurboTax make this part HARDER THAN DOING TAXES!?

Any help is much appreciated.

There is no license code required when using the TurboTax online editions. You should not even be accessing the TurboTax online editions if you purchased the desktop editions.

You enter the license code on the TurboTax desktop software you install on your personal computer. You will be asked to sign onto your TurboTax account to activate the license code during installation of the software.

I know that... Let me be more clear.... I am not going to pay the inflated online TurboTax rate ($ 100+?) for Deluxe when I have purchased it for $44.00 from Sam's club.

For example I purchased TurboTax Deluxe last year from Sams club and had no issue entering my License code.

You purchased the software from Sam's club. You cannot purchase a TurboTax online edition from a retailer.

If you want to use the online editions, I suggest you return the software you purchased from Sam's club for a refund.

The TurboTax Deluxe online edition is currently $39. If you also do a state return that is an additional $39.

Go to this TurboTax website for the TurboTax Deluxe online edition - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/deluxe.jsp

Totally agree. I spend more time looking for how to activate licence code than doing tax.
