What to Do If Your TurboTax Activation Code Doesn’t Work?

  1. Double-Check the Code: Ensure that you’ve entered the code exactly as it appears, without any spaces or errors. Sometimes, a small typo can cause the code to be rejected.
  2. Verify Your Purchase: Make sure you’ve purchased the correct version of TurboTax that matches the activation code you’re using. For example, an online version code won’t work for a CD/download version and vice versa.
  3. Check for Multiple Uses: Remember, each activation code can only be used once per account. If you’ve already used the code on another device or account, you’ll need to contact TurboTax support for a new code.
  4. Restart the Activation Process: Close TurboTax and restart your computer. Then, try entering the activation code again.
  5. Contact TurboTax Support: If none of the above steps work, it’s time to reach out to TurboTax support. You can call their customer service team at 1-888-829-8608 for assistance1. Be prepared to provide your purchase details and any error messages you’ve received.
  6. Use Support ID: If you’re having trouble navigating the automated phone system, TurboTax support can provide a Support ID to bypass the automated attendant and speak directly with a representative.
