Trying to install Turbo Tax (not the first year) and it says I have zero KB available. I have 8GB of memory installed.

How can I be out of application memory? What can I do to fix this? TIA

Ok, I think we have been talking past each other or not really understanding what each other is talking about.
When you say you have 8 GB installed and 5.93 GB free, you must be referring to the memory, and I was interpreting this as hard drive storage space.
My copy of TT (Premier) says it needs 1 GB memory and 360 MB storage space...so yours should be similar depending the edition you are using.
The hard drive storage space should not be an issue unless you have your hard drive completely full so we will ignore that.
Now TT wants to see 1 GB of memory available, but for some reason is not recognizing the 5.93 GB you report as available.  So, go to Finder > Applications > Utilities (may be Other on some systems) > Activity Monitor and double click to open.  Click the button top center of the window for memory and see what the numbers are in the lower portion of the window.  The Wired, Active and Inactive should add up to the Used amount.  Which then leaves the Free number (mine says 5.85 GB at the moment) using only Safari and Activity Monitor and the Mac OS X stuff.
Keep Activity Monitor open and reinsert the TT DVD and try to install, since that is what you said was not working.  As a sanity check: do you have Mac OS X 10.6.8 as your equipment says you have?  TT has to see at least that Mac OS X version.
