If you have purchased TurboTax directly from the website, creating an Intuit account is necessary and this change started from the last Tax season. It will help you to keep track of your direct purchases from intuit and any information linked to those purchases for your records.
"My Returns/View All Tax Returns/Start a New Return" is feature is for Online TurboTax users only and not linked to the TurboTax Desktop users.
You won't see the license code in the intuit account. When you install it from your account the license code will automatically pop up.
Now you can only use your TurboTax license code with one account and can Install up to 3 devices. If you want to install TurboTax Desktop on a second computer, you would need to login using the same account where you originally used the code. You would just have to select it to continue and license code will be auto filled.
Thanks for choosing TurboTax.
