When I hit "Transmit Returns Now" in my TurboTax 2021 Deluxe Desktop edition, I get this prompt "FAILED_VALIDATION. There is an update available for your version of TurboTax. Before you can file electronically, you'll need to get this update. To do this, go to the Online menu and select Check for Updates".
When I do that, it spends a few seconds checking, then says, "Your software is up to date".
Realizing that my auto-updater may be broken for whatever reason, I installed the patch from https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/updating/help/manually-update-turbotax-for-windows-soft[product ke..., but I'm still getting this validation error. I guess the patch (version [phone number removed]) isn't the latest version that your API expects?!
What am I supposed to do about this? My current version of TurboTax.exe is 2021.47.21.82.
Also, I don't get why the software needs a hundred different version numbers, none of which corresponds to the version number in the patch file. And I don't get why you don't do basic quality control and ensure that the updater works.
