Troubleshooting

Box with code purchased at Staples. Code does not work.

Troubleshooting

@Georjette   Since tax year 2020, there is a difference between a License Code (for Desktop) and an Activation Code (for Online). This error code 606 means you are trying to enter a Code for TurboTax Online in a Desktop software (or vice-versa). 

 

We understand, sometimes, this can be confusing but, on the box (or on the retailer website), you have to choose between TurboTax Online and TurboTax Desktop. They are not the same software and codes from one cannot be used in the other one. 

 If on the box it's TurboTax Online, you can activate your code to your account on this link

 If on the box it's TurboTax Desktop, you can download/install your software from this link

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
