I really didn't want to order a different software, as I'd seen the reviews of H&R Block and others were not all that good. My son always does his on TT but he does the online. I had couple of friends who said they had done online TT (not streaming) and ran into problems last year and this year. What I did do was go into Programs and Features, and found those two 2015-2022 Visual C++ files and right clicked and repair then restart.
So I bit the bullet, went back onto Amazon, and purchased TT Premier again (only this time it was only $64 as opposed to $85 when I bought it Jan3). So I downloaded the file from installturbotax.com with new file I bought today on Amazon. Interesetingly, the new purchase never even asked for the activation code on my Amazon purchase, when I downloaded it. I do not know if my going into Programs & Features to repair the 2 C++ files had anything to do with TT working since it had initially worked first time on 1/3. So what I did this time, was going into my Power & Sleep settings, clicked on Never for turning off the screensaver and Sleep. That way TT has stayed on. Doing that mainly because I want to import all my financial data for my return from Fidelity and the import will be available on 1/31. So leaving computer on with TT on all night and will work it in the morning. I'm not getting out of TT this time until I've finished the Fed/State returns, and filed Fed and State, and then printed off my return. Then, I'll go out of TT...and see if I can get back in. If I can't...screw it..I'll have filed the return.
