How to Update TurboTax
Our downloadable updates provide the latest available tax forms, bug fixes, and enhancements for your TurboTax program. (If you're using TurboTax Online, stop reading – we automatically apply the updates for you!)
Important: It's not possible to "update" or convert a prior-year TurboTax product to a current-year product. Find out why.
To use your TurboTax CD/Download software, you'll need an Internet connection so you can download the required TurboTax updates. We strongly recommend a high-speed broadband connection (cable, DSL, etc.) for the best updating experience.
Instructions
Check for updates any time by opening TurboTax and then selecting Check for Updates from the Online menu (Windows) or the TurboTax menu (Mac).
Should you disconnect while updating, no worries. Just repeat the instructions above and your updates will resume right where they left off.
For even more convenience, use the Automatic Update option to download updates whenever you're connected to the Internet, whether TurboTax is running or not. Automatic updating will not affect your Internet connection speed, and you can install the updates at your convenience. Click here for instructions.
