Download 2018 2017 editions of TurboTax

I would like to download older editions of Turbo Tax (2017 and 2018), In each year I go the Premier edition but I do not have the exe so I would like to down load the exe and set them up again so I can refile my taxes for those years to claim some credits that I did not previously claim

If you have already filed those returns you will need to go to the CRA "My Account" and from there choose the year you want to make the change and click on "Make a Change"

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

I need the download files for 2017 & 2018 - I purchased the downloads back in 2018 & 2019 but the emails with the links seem to have been deleted and I need to install them on my new computer. Are you able to send me the download links?

@Alorecam Unfortunately, as of December 2024 we no longer sell products for 2017 or earlier, but you can download the forms from the CRA here: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/tax-packages-years.html

@Alorecam We no longer sell activation keys for 2017. My previous post was from October 2024, before we removed 2017 from sale.

Hello, 

 

I have had turbo tax from 2015 to 2024 installed on 1 laptop.  I still have the CD / downloads and activation keys for each year.  my laptop has now seen better days and is end of life and not working well.  How and can I re-install and activate on another laptop?  for continuity.  is that possible?  I have 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 & 2024 CDs installed and keys available.

 

Please help.

You can install TurboTax Desktop on up to 3 computers. 

 

For newer version of TurboTax Desktop (2020 onwards) you should just be able to enter the Licence code during the installation. 2023 & 2024 require you to make an Intuit account before you can enter a code. 

 

Please see this TurboTax FAQ for more info on activating older versions of TurboTax Desktop (2019 & earlier): What if I have trouble with my licence code while setting up TurboTax Download?

 

Please note that we currently only support TurboTax Desktop 2018 & onwards. Older versions may not work on current versions of Windows or be able to update themselves.

Thank-you so much, your reply was most helpful.  I was able to activate all older versions on different device.

 

Another question my 2016 edition requires update to open a return.  How do I go about updating older versions like 2016 or 2018.

Looking forward to your reply.

 

Thanks.

The downloads for 2017 & 2018 still work (as of March 4th 2025) and these are the last versions. You can download them and run the installer to update them.

 

2017: https://intuitglobal.intuit.com/downloads/CanadaTax/2017/dls/TurboTax2017_Build9008.exe

2018: https://intuitglobal.intuit.com/downloads/CanadaTax/2018/dls/TurboTax_2018.exe

 

The link I have for 2016 no longer works, and the old update servers are gone.
