License Codes for Previous Years

wdfriesen — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 22:05:39 GMT

I am trying to open last year's Turbo Tax to look at my previous return. It decided I needed a software update and, after doing so, I now need to enter last year's license code. Alas, I did not keep last year's e-mail receipt with the code, not knowing I would need to hold on to it for the rest of my life. What am I to do? Will I not be able to ever look at my 2024 info again without buying another license? And is my 2025 TurboTax going to be able to pull the 2024 information for me without me entering my 2024 code?

I resent the receipt with your code.

And you don't actually need TurboTax 2024 installed to transfer your return into 2025. You only need to have your .tt24 file.
