.NET Framework is a software development framework for building and running applications on Windows.

Some applications require .NET Framework to run and Turbotax is one of them. It you installed Turbotax 2022 from a cd or download .Net should have also been installed. .NET supports running websites, services, desktop apps, and more on Windows.

 

perhaps it wasn't installed correctly 

without it Turbotax will not run on a windows desktop app

your options.

try the following at your own risk

2) if you have administrator privileges you can type command in the windows search bar and select run as administrator. then when a new window opens type sfc /scannow. this may fix the problem.  

3) select the link to download 4.8 runtime. know where it's stored on your computer and then double-click on the file to install.
