I haven't had convenient CD capabilities in over six years. I have a ten year old external CD drive but no idea if it still works.

For taxes, I save a copy of the return as a pdf file. I can review that whenever I need to and can print it if I ever have to. I also acquire pdf versions of any document I require for preparing my taxes and keep them alongside the return. I *should* be in good shape without needing the software again.

At the same time, I have a folder with the install files for all the previous versions of the tax preparation software. Since there are usually many updates to this software between the time I buy it in November/December and filing time in April, reinstalling the software will require the updates to be available on the developer's website. I assume the updates will be available but I've never tested that.
