ive used and reviewed turbotax for over 20 years i just installed turbotax deluxe federalstate desktop version that amazon just delivered the cd installed fine on my windows 10 pc and then updated itself with the latest updates just fine when i then launched turbotax it popped up the new screen that i expected from reading other reviews to login to my intuit acct i did that with my user id and password and then it sent me a verification code to ensure that i was actually me then it asked me to enter the license code from the cd jacket which i did and then it activated my turbotax it relaunched turbotax and it came up and ran and looked just the same as previous yearsi went into the menu and clicked to sign out of my intuit acct it said that it recommended staying signed in while doing my taxes and that some features would not work if i signed out i confirmed i wanted to sign out and it did i made a few changes and saved my return fine i exited turbotax and then relaunched it it came up and ran fine without being signed in i dont yet know what features wont work while signed out but so far turbotax deluxe seems to be the same as last year once you sign in and activate iti gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for now because i dont like the two changes this year first is that amazon is not selling the federalonly disc only the download i spent 8 more to buy federalstate just to get a disc because ive had trouble with amazon downloads in the past i live in texas where there is no state income tax so ive always bought the federalonly version in the past second i dont like the new turbotax requirement that you have to create an intuit accountill update this review if i discover other interesting new things about turbotax this year20240216 update i just efiled my federal tax return with no problems i updated my rating from 4 to 5 stars because requiring an intuit account be created did not cause me any problems i launched the desktop turbotax on my windows 10 pc many times and never had to login again after the initial activation thus turbotax worked exactly as it did in previous years great and it just so happened that already having the intuit account allowed me to easily get 10 more entries in the turbotax super bowl million dollar sweepstakes hope i win
