Where do I enter the activation code for my 2025 Deluxe Turbo tax (8 returns ) bought at Costco?

I have filed my taxes with online turbo tax for the last 4 years. This year 2025 I bought Turbo tax deluxe from Costco. Where do I enter my activation code?

If you have bought TurboTax Online, please go to turbotax.ca/activate to use your code before you start your returns. You can see this TurboTax FAQ for step-by-step instructions: In TurboTax Online, how do I use a prepayment code? 

Please keep in mind that the code can only be used once per account. Using the code again will result in an error message. It can only be linked to one account. Additionally, TurboTax Online and TurboTax Desktop codes are not interchangeable. 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

I have already created an account on TurboTax and entered my return info. Now, how can I indicate my Costco purchase to file and submit?
