I purchased TTAX directly from Intuit via their "Automatic Renewal" plan. I received an e-mail from them in mid-November stating that the CD was being shipped via USPS and that the expected delivery date was
7-10 business days.
3 or 4 days later, I received a second e-mail stating that Intuit had discovered an unspecified "installation error" that impacted certain PC's. Neither the error nor the type of PC was further described. The message said that a 2nd CD, clearly labeled "Revised" was being shipped.
The 2nd CD arrived 3 days after the message informing me of it. The original CD (along with the additional, bonus software) arrived 3 days after the 2nd arrived.
At this point, I believe the OP should contact Amazon, inform them that a defective product was received, and demand that they replace it.
