On March 31, my copy of TT Dexlue 2020 was able to
save a TT tax return file to a local disk but not
to a networked disk (smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/path).
Saves to the latter failed with the "<file> could
not be saved" error message. The app did not ask
me for permission to write to a network volume, as
some other apps have done. I tried manually adding
the TT app to System Preferencess/Security &
Privacy/Full Disk Access, but that made no
difference: attempts to save a TT tax return file
to a networked volume still failed.
Today I did updates to the TT app. After the
updates, TT is now able to save a TT tax return
file to a networked volume. System
Preferencess/Security & Privacy/Full Disk Access
does not list the TT app as having full disk
access, and System Preferencess/Security &
Privacy/Files and Folders does not list the TT app
with access to network volumes allowed. So today
the TT app is working as it should have all along,
without benefit of workarounds like special
settings in System Preferencess/Security &
Privacy.
Environment: Mac Mini 2020 (M1 CPU), MacOS 11.2.3,
TurboTax Deluxe 2020.
Has Intuit identifed and fixed this problem? If
so, that's good news.
