Installing Turbotax Download-CefSharpe.BrowserSubProcess

[T1filer]

Hello,

While installing Turbotax, a message pops up saying "Windows Defender Firewall has blocked some features of this app.  Name:  CefSharpe.BrowserSubProcess".

Is this required to use Turbotax 2024?  Is it safe or okay to choose "Allow CefSharpe.BrowerSubProcess to communicate on private networks, such as my home or work network"?

If this is not recommended, how can we uninstall or delete the CefSharpe.BrowerSubProcess?

Thank you.

The CefSharpe.BrowserSubProcess is part of a system that TurboTax (and other applications) use to allow the software to connect to the internet. You should allow it, as TurboTax needs to connect to the internet to activate, download updates, NETFILE and for other features.

Thank you, TurboTaxSusan.

Has CefSharpe.BrowserSubProcess always been used by TurboTax?  I have used TurboTax for many years, and this is the first time the question came up while downloading the tax software.  The only difference I can think of is that in prior years, I bought the CD or digital download software from a store, while this time, I bought it directly from Intuit.ca.  I never came across the CefSharpe.BrowserSubProcess question until this year, in all my years downloading the Turbotax software purchased from stores.

Can you also confirm if each purchase of Turbotax software allows me to download it in 3 computers?  For example, if I buy a new laptop, can I download Turbotax 2024 on my new laptop using the same license code, if I have only downloaded it once before (on my old current desktop)?  Thank you again.

Yes, We've been having using CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess. A tool that allows you to embed chrome-lite browser functions into something, Usually, this tool is required in a specific program or device installed on your PC, you might have not experience this before as you have used a CD in the past an d it also depends on your computer settings. 

You can use your TurboTax license code with one account and can Install up to 3 devices. Yes, you can install it on anew laptop using the same license code. 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. Then, when you login, the code will already be there. You would just have to select it to continue.
