Many TurboTax users who subscribed to the Advantage service in 2024 are encountering confusion regarding access to the 2024 tax software download. This article aims to clarify the situation and help you locate your TurboTax 2024 download.
A common misconception arises from the “expected release date” message displayed prominently on the TurboTax account page. This message often indicates a November 2025 release, leading some users to believe they haven’t yet paid for the 2024 software. However, the 2024 version is typically available for download shortly after purchase.
The key is to look beyond the expected release date information. Scroll down your account page, and you’ll likely find a section titled “TurboTax Desktop 2024” or a similar heading. Within this section, there should be a link labeled “Licenses and downloads.” Clicking this link will take you to a page containing your license key and the download link for the 2024 TurboTax software.
While the exact availability of the 2024 download might depend on the specific date of your Advantage purchase in 2024, it’s highly probable that the software is readily accessible within your account. TurboTax wouldn’t logically sell a 2024 subscription unusable until 2025 taxes. The prominent display of the 2025 release date seems to be the primary source of confusion.
Therefore, if you’re struggling to find your TurboTax service code or download for the 2024 tax year, carefully examine your account page, look for the “Licenses and downloads” link within the 2024 software section, and disregard the potentially misleading future release date message. You should find your download readily available. If you continue to experience issues, contacting TurboTax support directly is recommended.
