Thank you for the tip SteamTrain, the Desktop one had different components than the laptop!!! I had previously tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didn't fix it (and did the update process correctly, with scanning, updating, rebooting, repeating), anyway I got fed up and went straight to formatting the drive. This software is a nightmare, it sucks I have to rely on it for such an important task.
For now, I'll just continue doing the taxes on the laptop, but I still need to know what the latest components are for MA to make sure it's up to date because the moral of the story here is that it's buggy when it updates and in some weird situations it won't pick them up even if you do things correctly.
I hope I can find someone who has MA state installed and can make a screenshot of these two screens, that's all I need.

I use Windows Snipping Tool and Imgur.com to make these updates. I hope there is someone on the forum who does MA taxes.
