Download 2018 2017 editions of TurboTax

[TurboTaxSusan]

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.

Thanks.

Hi Alorecam, any chance I can pay for your activation key for 2017? 

if there are 2 or 4 uses, I would only need one.

@user17519829211 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

did you ever get an answer to this? I am in the same boat.

Also, if you are only using one return, would you possibly be interested in selling me the installation key? Looking for years 2016, 2019, 2020-24. You can text me at [phone number removed] if interested, I live in Vancouver BC.

Cheers, Sach

any interest in sharing with me your spare installation codes for certain years? I need 2016, 2019-24. In exchange I have the software for all the years you need and can show you have to re-install them and activate on your new computer.

If interested text me at [phone number removed], I live in Vancouver BC. you can also email me if you wish at [email address removed]
