Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I was jumping through hoops at the Finder level (or even in the shell) because just opening the file in TT could change it:

 

70% ls -l sample.tax2024 
-rw-r--r--@ 1 gaa staff 2021284 Feb 13 13:18 sample.tax2024
71% md5sum sample.tax2024
0992c9502594c023cc2006a9137ac6f3 sample.tax2024
72% open sample.tax2024
[Here the application ran and I chose Quit as soon as I could]
73% ls -l sample.tax2024

-rw-r--r--@ 1 gaa staff 2021284 Feb 13 13:21 sample.tax2024
74% md5sum sample.tax2024
0a34098ce414fd8eae9d62f2e9f31aeb sample.tax2024
75%

So, what did TT do to my file when I opened it and quit?   Oh yeah, it "updated it".

 

Silly question: Why is there a "Save" under the file menu if you can't NOT save?   They could just eliminate the action from the File menu.
