Program will not accept activation code when I enter it. How can I install my program?

I bought the turbo tax premier program on line from Amazon. It appears I may have attempted to enter the activation code too many time and it won't allow me me to complete. What can I do to install my program?

Did you get an error message ...."something went wrong"? If yes, please use this TurboTax Online link and choose the software you purchased to start your return and when you get to the payment page enter your code under coupon code.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

First, please make sure that you have purchased the right product. The codes for TurboTax Online will not work with TurboTax Desktop & vice-versa.

Second, if you bought TurboTax at a retailer (Costco, Walmart, Staples, etc…), please make sure that you are using the code that came in the package. It may be on a slip of paper or on a scratch-off card. It is not on the outside of the box or on your receipt.

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 note that you can only use the code once in one account. Using the code again will give an error message.

If you have bought TurboTax Desktop, you will be asked for the licence code when you install the software. Please see this TurboTax FAQ for more information on the licence code: Where is my TurboTax licence code? You can download the current version of TurboTax Desktop edition here: Choose the current TurboTax Desktop edition you need (for Windows). You can download older versions of TurboTax Desktop edition here: Where can I download the Desktop edition of TurboTax?

If you are still not able to resolve your code issue, please contact our phone support team phone support team for more assistance.
