Contact the TurboTax help desk to get this resolved.

No way to contact the help desk. The call option is turned off. Their customer support is pathetic. They keep deflecting to online help. I had to purchase my license twice.

@brunomor 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). You can download older versions of TurboTax CD/download edition here: Where can I download the CD/download edition of TurboTax?

 

If you are still not able to resolve your code issue, please contact our phone support team at 1-888-829-8608.

 

Please use the form on this FAQ if you need to request a refund: https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/community/after-you-file-questions/help/how-do-i-get-a-refund-f...

I have read your reply thank you for that. And I also have followed to the best of my knowledge the instruction that you have left and it still doesn’t work. I have the card with the activation number on the card that was inside the box which I bought at Costco and I did try to activate it the way you say, but it simply does not work, and cannot activate it. Also, it is the only one tried that I had with it.

@brunomor Then you may need a new code, which you can get from our phone support team at 1-888-829-8608.
