Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I have been using TT since the early 90's and never experienced such poor customer support as with this issue.  I too loaded TT21 on my Mac with macOS Monterey Ver 12.2.1 and all latest updates.  After initial installation, it worked fine, only showing the "Hit a Snag" error window on boot.  Now, I remember this occurred with TT20 last year and if you don't hit "Send to TurboTax" everything is OK.  But this year, I figured TurboTax needed to know about the issue, so I pressed the send button.  Big mistake, as now I can't get TT21 to start anymore without crashing when doing the update process.  I have spent 4+ hours with 6 different Intuit service techs at all levels, including the remote desktop session with the last tech and I showed him everything I had found.  Still no luck after multiple uninstalls (using the very old instructions, as only 1 file really exists per the list) and even installing a completely new copy provided by one of the tech supports.  I have found exactly what is the crash, but the techs don't seem to care about this.  So I am putting a log of it here:
