My experience exactly, just after I paid for an e-filing and initiated the filing I got a notice that an update was necessary before filing could be completed. I downloaded the update and the TT2019 froze up. I deleted and downloaded TT at least six times and I could get back into the file once and still was unable to file. I was able to print the fed and state returns and I mailed my federal yesterday.
I really should pursue a refund.
