- Be sure you're logged on to your Windows computer with administrative rights.
- From the Windows Start menu, choose Control Panel (or Settings > Control Panel).
- Double-click Add or Remove Programs (in Windows 7 or Vista, Programs and Features) and look for TurboTax 2008 or 2009. If it's in the list of programs, uninstall it.
