When I enter Turbotax License code to activate Turbotax, I get error code 606. I have entered the license code correctly. How can I fix this issue?

@Irvine3645 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.
