    To fix this, try running TurboTax as an Administrator, while saving it to your Desktop. Close your TurboTax program and right-click the TurboTax icon and select "Run as administrator".

    If I choose exit the program, I am asked to save, which I cannot do. Get same error "File not found".

    If I force an exit, then I lose any information I've input.

    "no matter where or what name I use with the extension provided .tt25"

     

    Where'd you come up with that extension???   TurboTax data files in the USA end in *.tax2025 so that's confusing.

     

    Or are you by any chance using the Canadian version of TurboTax?   See my next comment below.
