Get your taxes done using TurboTax

When opening it demanded I install updates.  Update failed over and over.  Disabled firewall, antivirus and all the other solutions.  Finally gave up, uninstalled Turbotax 2021.  Reinstalled with the purchased CD.  It then downloaded a "current" version.  It finally opened Turbotax, but then demands I spend $40 to download Illinois (which was the free download I had before I was forced to uninstall).  It refuses to open until I pay the $40.  This appears to be simple blackmail to force people to only use the online version?

 

Is there any way to fix?
