Anyone have a fix...Intuit is no help.  "anyone have a fix"          Yes, several Mac users have reported their solutions in this thread.  It's a long thread with some 200 posts, so you may wish to peruse it in reverse order to see the more recent solutions.   @KJM231 

Can you clarify what you need help with?  You are welcome to ask your question here in this forum.    Go here if you want to switch to TurboTax Experts from a different TurboTax product.   We also offer full service tax preparation, see: TurboTax Full Service for more information or to sign up.

This could be due to many things, such as a refund offset or an error such as a typo or a credit that was disallowed.  The best course of action would be to wait for the Notice of Adjustment the state will send you- this will explain any changes.     If you do not receive a notice of adjustment, you should contact your state's department of revenue here: How do I contact my state Department of Revenue?

I clicked on Upgrade TurboTax at the bottom right of the desktop program screen, but when it tried to save the current file, I got an error message that the file could not be saved because it was read only.   I interpret this as the file is currently open and in use and therefore cannot be saved.  I could be wrong.  But in any event, it prevents the upgrade. Is there another solution?

Thanks for your response. My Mac has an M2 pro chip (2023 mini Mac Pro). It’s not an intel chip that believe, it’s a silicon chip according to AI. Mac OS is 15.5 version.  my computer downloads to my desktop. Yes, a dmg file and when I click to expand (unzip), the extraction starts but stops at 97-98% and then says extraction failed. I’ve done it a number of times and removed the previous files before retrying. After reading online that some have the same message and then walked away and come back later and it has finished extracting, I tried that too. I found a folder on my computer that looked like 2025 TurboTax label. When I open the folder, one of 3 files is “2025 TurboTax app”. When I click to open it, it says “application cannot be opened” but no reason why. Yes, the downloaded file size sounds correct. I’ve disabled every possible app that can interfere plus disabled firewall, etc… always the same thing. So frustrated. I really don’t want to try H&R Block software again.  It aucked back in 2018! Help.

Enter your business vehicle expenses in the section Business Vehicle Expense if you are self-employed and completing a Schedule C. TurboTax provides entry boxes and questions to determine whether you should use actual expenses and depreciation, or use the standard mileage rate.     If you go directly to the Assets section instead, the program will present a list of assets that doesn't include vehicles.   If you checked the box "I stopped using this vehicle in 2025", the program will ask more questions to determine the disposition of the asset and how it should be treated on your return. You might check to see if you inadvertently checked the box to indicate you stopped using the vehicle for business, which would cause the question to pop up.   Since you said you didn't check the box, try exiting TurboTax, restarting your device, and logging in again to see if that resolves the issue.    See this TurboTax tips article for more information.  

My quebec netfile doesn't allow me to file online but gives me option to send by mail.. however i did get a notice that said some forms were not finalized yet and i assume that maybe this could be the problem.. the only difference this year is i split my income with my wife and got a warning concerning withheld tax not reported from releve 2. I dont have any tax deductions/withheld on my paper slips. the forms in turbo tax show the J box empty and i cant enter the value (0.00). i'm assuming this might be a problem. It will add a value (0.01) a penny but since my federal file went thru if i use the penny trick it might create a problem. Now i dont know if its a turbo tax problem or a SCHEDULE Q problem. Tried going to the Schedule Q and using override but still not able to send as this 0 slash symbol appears over the file online option. Hope you can point me in the right direction. Thanks                 

You can find the instructions on the IRS website, here: 2025 Instructions for Schedule D (Form 1040).    Capital gain distributions are defined on page 2 as "These distributions are paid by a mutual fund (or other regulated investment company) or real estate investment trust from its net realized long-term capital gains. Distributions of net realized short-term capital gains aren’t treated as capital gains. Instead, they are included on Form 1099-DIV as ordinary dividends."
