I think your reply was geared to some sort of online program. I'm using the downloaded desktop version.

Are you needing to upgrade to a higher version of the CD/Download?
It showed under the version Turbo Tax Online, which is why the response was geared towards the online version.

I downloaded the patch, ran it, and received the following message: "TurboTax 2020 is not installed. Please install TurboTax 2020 first and then re-run this update"
The trouble is, the program IS installed. I still have the problem of TurboTax Deluxe (desktop Windows version) locking up anytime an upgrade screen appears.

What was the solution to this problem (if I may ask)? I am running into the same issue with the 2020 TurboTax Deluxe CD/download version.

For me the solution was to wait. I just let it 'churn' for 20 minutes or so and all was well again. If I hadn't gotten a phone call while I was doing my taxes I'd never have reached that conclusion. After I got off the phone the program worked as it should.

I too am facing the same situation with my desktop version. There does seem to be a bug that needs to be addressed ASAP. I am requesting Intuit to provide better guidance.

For anyone using the Desktop CD/Download program, you really don't need to upgrade to a higher version. All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions.
We can help you enter something in a lower version.

I got a phone call during after TurboTax seemed to lock up. It took about 20 minutes or maybe a little longer before I got off the phone. By that time TurboTax was working properly. I'd suggest you just attend to another matter and come back in a little while to see if it's responding again. Good luck.

This solution worked! Hang tight for about 10 minutes or more and the program will respond. Future responses won't have a delay.

The "wait" doesn't work for me. It has been in the "not responding" now for over 1 hour. What now???
