[Old Version] TurboTax Premier + State 2019 Tax Software [PC/Mac Disc]

When you install the 2019 edition, it now requires a "license code" to ensure that you don't use the program on more than 5 computers at once. Given that this barely-there item costs so much We all know what useful software is, and because it is not usable after 1 year, it's a just jerk move to try to wring every dollar out of By making it more inconvenient and costly for families to get their money's worth from their software, they try to make it more inconvenient and costly. In any case, if your salary is less than $69k, you don't need this software Look for an IRS by doing a Google search for "Free File Do Your Federal Taxes for Free". The link to the government website will help you figure out what you really need to do There are no costs with free options. There's a lot in the IRS's page that makes it difficult to get to the actually-required information on QuickBooks You can use the free web version through a standard Google search, but you should start at the IRS website, or Intuit will take you to the cleaners.

Everybody was at H&M at the same time Staying at R Block was the best decision I ever made. I have not seen them. Turbo Tax has never been used in conjunction with an internet connected computer, and I will never use it on either. In short, I don't want our tax information imbedded in any software on a computer with an internet connection. The software has always worked fine for me, but this year there was a problem. As soon as I install the software, I have to connect to the internet JUST TO LAUNCH IT. I always buy the CD but for some reason I have to do this. Where are we going wrong? As for the product, I already paid for it. Installing it should result in it working as soon as possible. The fact that it is a one time use, annual software (good for just one tax return per year) makes it even more appealing. Upon installation of the software, a license code is supplied (I have no idea what this means at this point), but it is not for launching it. As a result, I am now returning the software for a refund under the 60 day money back guarantee. While I have been buying the software on an annual basis for decades, if I find another product, I will not be tempted to return. How could there be a software package that comes with terms and conditions that are not stated on the package (and not necessary for using The company could have made me go online (or call in by phone) and enter the license code that came with the CD in order to get a code I could use on the other To do my taxes, I use an internet computer. They must be looking for ways to track "up to 5" tax returns, since the software claims it tracks up to five returns. In all my years of using my software, I have only ever used it once. The IRS has a right to access data on tax returns under the privacy act, so I hope they aren't doing this to access this information. That's why. In the original purpose of this product, which was to do your tax return on any computer with Turbo Tax software, they changed it to require internet access for no reason other than to launch it. We used to live in an area where it was available only through DSL access (and still is). When it rained, the phone lines would not work. Still, our parents live in an area with a limited DSL network (rural midwest) but no cable In the east). Their cell phones are used to access the However, this shouldn't be a problem. It was a software purchase that I made. This is mine to do with as I please!.

According to the product description, you do not require an internet connection to install this product, but apparently you can get a registration key from Intuit through another means, and, at least for previous years, you could get product updates on another computer and install them on the The financial computer on our network is not allowed to be connected to the internet. We have been able to use TurboTax successfully in the offline mode in previous years. I DO NOT WORK THERE NOW. There was something we needed to discuss with so-and-so I called "support" for quite some time before they acknowledged that Internet was now required. It is believed that the technical information on this product, which makes this claim, is misleading and incomplete in this regard. Since we must now do taxes manually using IRS forms we can download, we consider it to be MISLEADING for this reason.

I had no trouble running the program when I first ran it Recently, I ran the application and another warning told me that the program needed to be updated When I updated TTax 2019, the program asked me to re-activate by re-entering the activation code The activation code needs to be entered. tried that, and it worked, but I decided to check online to see why I had to reactivate it a second time. Turns out that hundreds of users are experiencing the same thing. This problem is that after five activations, it stops working because every activation counts as a separate install on a supposedly separate machine. My current activations are 2 out of 3, so I have 3 left (not enough to complete my taxes before the end of The problem seems to have existed since at least early December 2019, and TTax has still not addressed Each time I open the application, I am prompted to install a critical update, which seems to be the fix for this very issue. When none of their currently registered users return to TTax next year, they are going to have a very tough time. There is no immediate action being taken, but this situation requires immediate attention. The only way I could give it zero stars is to not give it any at all.

This program did not launch but kept cycling back to verification in a loop after meeting system requirements, loading OK, initial verification working. Attempted to resolve the issue with turbotax help for about four hours, but could not get it resolved. We also downloaded a fresh copy of the software, which exhibited the same issue. It is not recommended that you buy until any bugs have been fixed.

Since I started using TurboTax over 20 years ago, I have used it every year. My second purchase this year was also from Amazon. However, neither of my computers will allow me to download updated software (some of the schedules are not approved) and needs to be updated. I am not sure if I should return TurboTax (and use some other tax software) or if TurboTax is still in the process of updating its installation/update processes.
