yes the review tab says there have been NO updates at all, I just installed it today.  i wonder if I have something blocked that does not allow it to update.  I am online all the time so I have internet service

I am having the same issue. It will not let me transmit my returns to E-File. It says there is an update available, but when I check it states that the software is up to date.

This is bull**bleep**! I spent 40 minutes on the phone with Turbotax help desk and all they did is send me an email outlining the steps I should take to rectify the problem. They suggested that it is an issue with my computer and not their software. I will never purchase this crap again!!

I finally got it to work, I just kept checking for updates & out of the blue it did a state update after trying 10x's . Tried refiling and it went thru.

Are you using Windows 7?  Windows 7 cannot update as Microsoft no longer provides updates for Windows 7.  If your State needs to be updated and you are also seeing a message that Microsoft cannot connect to update, it is your operating system.  I strongly recommend not using Windows 7 to file your Taxes.  TurboTax requires that your Operating System is up to date to work effectively and your operating system cannot be updated on Windows 7.

 

If you are using Windows 10, please visit this link for troubleshooting help:   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-topics/help/turbotax-desktop-windows-update-loop-at-e-file/00/...

 

I hope this helps.

This is usually caused by a problem with your computer interacting with the TurboTax software. I would suggest clearing your cache as follows:

You may need to restart your computer after clearing the cache.

 

Also, loading up a different web browser when on your TurboTax product.

 

If you are still having trouble, it might help if you installed TurboTax on another computer if you have one available.
