Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Note to anyone with this issue:

 

The ONLINE UPDATE refused to work including the AUTOMATIC UPDATE TTAX ran on start-up.

The solution was to DISABLE my Anti-Virus software's "Active Protection" and retry the update again. Initially, the update bar (status) remained without any % movement but after 4-5 minutes it started downloading the update and asked if I would like to install it.

 

After installing the update TTAX restarted without any stimulus payments added so I simply continued through the "Step-by-Step" process until it came to that section which now talked about BOTH payments and not just 1 payment. After selecting NO (Did not receive stimulus) it correctly calculated $1,800.00 instead of $1,200.00 previously.

 

This was quite an exercise in patience with TTAX that I had not experience in my 20+ years as a user. I hope this helps someone with similar issues.
