Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, this is the Windows application; from Help/About:
TurboTax.exe 2022.47.21.46
WinPerRelease 022.000.0471

When the busy icon is running, I can't interact with turbotax with the mouse or keyboard. But I did find a work-around; I think the problem is that the busy icon is running as a separate process:

  • Minimize turbotax
  • This leaves the busy icon still visible on screen
  • Un-minimize turbotax
  • This leaves the busy icon running behind turbotax, but I can then use the mouse and keyboard to drive turbotax
  • Repeat any time that a busy indicator appears (which is frequently)

I checked that, after saving my return, the file had been fully written even though the "Saving return" icon was still running.
