Since tax year 2020, there is a difference between a license code (for Desktop) and an activation code (for Online). If you have purchased the TurboTax Deluxe Online edition, follow the steps below:

 

To activate your TurboTax Online version, please visit this link. Select "I have an account," log into your account, and proceed to the second step by adding your 16-digit activation code to review and activate the TurboTax Online product.

 

The TurboTax Standard Desktop Version can be downloaded using this link if you have already purchased it: https://intuitglobal.intuit.com/downloads/CanadaTax/2024/dls/TurboTax_2024.exe

 

Please note that these codes are not interchangeable.

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
