I purchased turbo tax at Costco & downloaded it on the computer but could not access last years info. I then went onto turbotax website & retrieved last years info then continued with filing but now it is asking me to pay again and will not accept the licence code from my purchase. How do I correct this?

The codes for TurboTax CD/Download will not work with TurboTax Online & vice-versa.
If you need a refund, please use the form on this TurboTax FAQ to request one: How do I get a refund for a TurboTax product?
@anolastephens First, please make sure that you have purchased the right product. The codes for TurboTax Online will not work with TurboTax CD/Download & 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 CD/Download, 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 CD/download edition here: Choose the 2022 TurboTax edition you need (for Windows).
