Get your taxes done using TurboTax

That is usually because something got corrupted and not all the files got removed. 

 

If you have followed all the uninstall instructions that I will post below and it still bounces in the dock then there is one more test that you can do to see if there might be some sort of corruption in your User account that is causing the problem.

 

Switch to another User account that is an  Administrator (or use System Preferences to create one) and run TurboTax from that account.   If that works normally then there is something in your Users account that is causing the problem.  That will probably require a Mac expert to locate and solve.

===========

 

Corruption could have occurred in the Application or in an associated preference or support file.

The best remedy is to totally uninstall TurboTax and all associate files and then re-install. That will not delete or change any .tax2019 data file that had already been created with the tax data.

To uninstall the application and all associated files need to be deleted and then the application reinstalled. If there was a state then the state must also be reinstalled.

To remove TurboTax from your computer, you'll need administrative rights.

Note: Substitute XX in these instructions for the 2-digit tax year of your TurboTax software.

Remove the application TurboTax [version] 20XX in the Applications folder.
Version is the version of TurboTax you currently have installed, such as Basic, Deluxe, Premier, Home Business.
In the Finder, select Go Go To Folder.
Enter ~/Library and select Go.
Remove the following files and folders (~/Library represents the Library folder in the current user’s home folder):

~/Library/Application Support/TurboTax 20XX
~/Library/Caches/com.intuit.TurboTax.20XX
~/Library/Caches/TurboTax 20XX
~/Library/Preferences/com.intuit.TurboTax.20XX.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.intuit.TurboTax.20XX.LSSharedFileList.plist
~/Library/Saved Application State/com.intuit.TurboTax.20XX.savedstate
~/Library/Cookies/com.intuit.turbotax.20XX.binarycookies
~/Library/WebKit/com.intuit.turbotax.20XX
~/Library/Containers/com.intuit.turbotax.mac20XX
(This folder will only appear if you installed from the Mac App Store instead of a CD or download.)
~/Library/ApplicationSupport/com.apple.sharedfilelist/com.apple.LSSharedFileList.ApplicationRecentDocuments/com.intuit.turbotax.20XX.sfl
(This folder will only appear for OS X 10.11, El Capitan.)
~Library/Caches/KSCrash/TurboTax

Once you've removed those files and folders:

Empty your Trash.
Check first to that there's nothing in Trash you want.
If you get any errors deleting the above folders from Trash, restart your Mac and empty Trash again.
Install TurboTax again from the CD or download file to the Applications folder.
Start TurboTax from the Applications folder and let it run the updates.
Empty the Trash again.
To make sure everything is working smoothly, restart your Mac again.
