Sharing Turbo Tax Standard

I've been alternating purchasing Turbo Tax Standard with my dad for the last 5-10 years. Buying the software for install. 

 

One person buys the software, and shares the license key with the other, so we can both do our taxes. This year is the first year I've passed the information to him, and the key won't work for him. Are you no longer allowed to install the software on multiple computers? I do see how buying 8 returns linked to one computer makes any sense. The error is that it is already linked to another account. Is this new to 2024 Turbo tax?

TurboTax Desktop License code can be install on 3 different computers. The difference this year is, the code will be registered under one account. If a 2nd person needs to install the Desktop software, they will have to enter the account information of the owner of the account. We invite you to visit this article for more information.

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
