Mac turbotax crashing after "please wait while we verify everything is up to date" - can't finish filing!

I have researched this problem enough to know it is already known and I don't think a solution is available.  

 

I was wrapping up my filing and had to update something about the state files.  Then my system started persistently crashing.  Always after showing a popup window "please wait while we verify everything is up to date".

 

I found advice saying uninstall and reinstall.  I have done this several times, each time finding something else in the ~/Library files that needs to be deleted.  I have given up.  

 

If someone has something else for me to try on my Mac, fine...I will try it.  Otherwise, how do I quit messing with the MAC version and get the download for the PC version without paying for it again?

 

Thank you!!!
