...2019 state forms should still download.
And starting a new fake return to get them, is the proper way to start-up before attempting to open your old tax return.
______
Things to try:
1) Check for waiting OS updates and Reboot your computer (even if none are available). Try again after that.
2) Then start a new fake file again, but don't go as far as entering any schedule C stuff....just the personal information, and maybe some personal bank interest. Then try the state download.
_______
still a no-go?
3) Uninstall and reinstall TTX.
4) Run a full main software update before starting yet another new dummyfile ...then try again to get the state.
________
still bad, and using a Windows computer?
5) Try a download and install of the Manual Update (takes a long install time) before trying to get the state again:
Manually Update TurboTax for Windows Software (intuit.com)
_______________
Yeah, we generally recommend never uninstalling desktop TTX....and keeping many years as long as possible.
But people do get new computers...and when you do, re-install as many years back as you can right away (Usually only 3-years back can be done...thus 2019, 2020, and 2021 are still available now).
Make a 2 PDF copies EVERY year. One with just the filing forms, and a second one with the filing forms PLUS all the worksheets., AND, back those PDF files up on a flash drive. The PDFs can be read far into the future, even when the full TTX software is no longer available.
