Right, sorry.  You can’t update or download a state program for 2019.    The License Code started in 2019.  So 2019 to 2021 needs to connect to Turbo Tax to verify the License Code.  But they only support the last 3 years. So you can’t install and activate 2021 and prior (then add a year going forward).

 

Do you have a .tax2019 file you need to open?
