Get your taxes done using TurboTax
I had the same issue with the 2020 version of TurboTax on a MacBook Pro running MacOs Big Sur 11.2.
Try to:
1 - Create a new user account on your Mac and run Turbotax from that account. If that works, there is some corruption with the old account that you used on the Mac.
2 - I resolved this by deleting all files under ~/Library/Caches/KSCrash/TurboTax
Subsequently I was able to startup TurboTax 2020 with no issues.
The log under ~/Library/logs/com.intuit.turbotax/2020/*log will show:

Deleting the directory and will files under step 2 resolved this issue for me. I spent 4 hours on the phone with TurboTax support and they were of no help at all
