Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It is indeed idiotic. This is a programmer issue. It shouldn't matter WHERE the file is located as long as it's somewhere on your computer, or even your network, and it was generated using the same OS as your TT is using. Both QB and TT do extremely idiotic things. Must be a communications issue between the bean counters who get the "ideas" and the programmers who have to implement them. I've been there, so I know how bad that can be.
