Unfortunately we no longer support TurboTax CD/Download for years before 2016. 

 

For 2016 and later, the software should automatically check for updates when you start it. If the software is having problems updating, you can uninstall & reinstall it using the download on our website here:  Where can I download the CD/download edition of TurboTax?

We no longer have separate update files. If TurboTax doesn't automatically update, then the solution is to just uninstall and reinstall the software. If you are still not able to resolve this issue, please contact our phone support team at 1-888-829-8608.

 

And yes, the CDs are kind of useless - they are made before the software is released in December, and so don't have the weekly updates that happen between December and the end of tax season in April, or any other updates that come after tax season.

I don’t know if it will make a big difference, but you can go back and add the expense. This TurboTax FAQ tells you how you can change your filed return: https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/community/tax-return-amendment/help/i-have-filed-my-tax-return-can-i-still-make-changes/00/873608
