Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Just so I understand... when the TurboTax updater says "You're up-to-date!" when opening TT, it really means it may not be.  Then it says "No Tax Form Updates at This Time" which is restating the false "You're up-to-date!" because in reality there ARE updates but you don't know this until you do a special thing. 

 

So the special thing to actually get updates is to hold the option key and click on the TurboTax menu, which goes from "Check for Updates..." to "Download Latest Updates" and "Quit TurboTax" to "Quit and Keep Windows" (not even sure what the latter even means).  

 

Click "Download Latest Updates" and then click the "Next" button. It says it is downloading and applying  updates...then it says "TurboTax Updates Applied" and "Select 'Continue' to work on your tax return.

 

This was what allowed me to be able to print.

 

My confusion came from the first link "Why does TT for Mac keep saying there are updates when I check for updates?" (doesn't apply to me, mine says "You're up-to-date!") and the second link "Troubleshoot TT for Mac updating issues" (doesn't apply to me, see above), neither of which says anything about forcing an update to fix a printing problem.

 

So TT tells some that there are updates when there aren't and tells others there aren't when there are; and doesn't say they patched a printing issue through a FORCED update.
