Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Yup. Same problem. For TT2019 and Windows 10 Users, do the following... turn off all anti-virus prior to installation. Uninstall and reinstall TT2019 as necessary. Upon reinstallation, locate Turbotax.exe in your Program Files (x86) folder. Right click on this executable file and open Properties. Goto Compatibility. Select to run in compatibility mode for Windows 8. Windows 10 is a 64-bit program that runs similar bit progams natively. You must use compatibility mode to run TurboTax 2019 in 32-bit mode because it was written as a 32-bit program. This is and AV interference are why your program isn't opening, or opens and closes right away. Add the TuboTax 2019 folder and executable file to your "exceptions" list in your AV software so it will leave it alone. Update your TT2019 SW as needed for the latest forms. You should be good to go. Mine is working now. Don't know if a 64-bit TT2019 version was available? If not, TT needs to recode their program code base for 64-bit. Yes, it's expensive... but it's a must if you want to be around tomorrow. I shudder at how many people TT is letting walk away when folks have a bad installation experience because they are not compatible with modern Laptop/Workstation Hardware/Software. Many will return their SW in frustration and seek other SW. Staying current with today's IT trends is rudimentary to TT's going concern. Folks will grow wise to overpaying for obsolete software. Admit I bought/downloaded from AMZN website... wonder if 64-bit was an option somewhere?
