"has the wrong tax year or some other issue that prevents us from opening" error
That is a problem with the .tax2019 data file and not the application.
Possible reasons:
1) The .tax 2019 data file contains state information and the state software is not installed.
2) The data file has lost the "open with" application pointer. Start TurboTax 2019 and then use the top menu bar "File -> Open Tax Return. Then locate and select the .tax2019 data file that you want to open.
3) Some sort of unrecoverable corruption happened to the .tax2019 data file. Use your backups or TimeMachine Backups to locate a prior copy of the data file and recover a non corrupted copy.
