I also received the message "FAILED VALIDATION. There is an update available for your version of TurboTax. Before you can file electronically, you'll need to get this update. To do this, go to the Online menu and select Check for Updates."
I have TTX 2023 Home and Business with an Oregon State return. I also did the Check for update, which seemed to work, but did not, including multiple attempts at this update process.
What worked for me after calling into support was to completely UNINSTALL TTX 2023 Home and Business (at the windows program level so there is no TTX program for the year 2023 in your system) and then go to your "Products and billing" in your INTUIT ACCOUNT (which can be found at https://accounts-tax.intuit.com/app/account-manager/productsBilling/turbotax?aid=tt&prgn=US&rgn=US&a... ), and redownload a new clean version of these combined products
- TY2023 TurboTax Desktop Home and Business
- TY2023 TurboTax Desktop State Individual WIN
After the install of the TY2023Home and Business, you will be asked again to get an update for the Individual State. From this point all works and able to do a successful transmission without problems. Cheers.
