Getting started

You need an Intuit Account to use TurboTax Desktop for a few reasons:

• You can be confident you’re downloading and activating an official Intuit product.
• You can more easily install TurboTax Desktop on another computer because we’ll store your license code.
• Our experts can more quickly help you because they’ll know what product you’re using.

There is no tax information stored on the server if you are using TurboTax Desktop. Instead it's product & contact info, which you can review, change or delete by visiting https://accounts.intuit.com/
