Because they are so big, product downloads can be difficult to download using a dial-up connection.
If you have access to another computer with a high-speed Internet connection, download TurboTax to a CD or flash drive from that computer so you can install it on your dial-up computer. Here's how:
- Insert a CD or attach a flash drive to a computer with a high-speed connection.
- Download TurboTax and save it to the desktop.
- Burn the download to the CD (or copy it to your flash drive).
- Delete the file on the desktop and remove the CD or flash drive.
To install TurboTax on your dial-up computer:
- Insert the CD or attach the flash drive to your computer.
- Look for the TurboTax icon on the CD or flash drive, and then copy it to your computer's desktop.
- On your desktop, double-click the TurboTax icon to begin the installation process.
Mac users: When the CD or flash drive mounts on your desktop, double-click its icon to view the contents. Then drag the TurboTax 200X folder (replace X with the appropriate tax year) to the Applications folder on your hard drive to install.
