With something as sensitive as taxes and bank accounts for direct deposit, the answer to just update or it won't work is totally unacceptable.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P> Sun, 18 Feb 2024 19:40:25 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-every-time-i-open-turbotax-it-ask-me-to-update-then-it-want-a-unknown-publisher-to-make-chan/01/3200125#M1176920 G_Sam 2024-02-18T19:40:25Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-every-time-i-open-turbotax-it-ask-me-to-update-then-it-want-a-unknown-publisher-to-make-chan/01/3200136#M1176925 <P>This isn't an isolated event. Many people are having this problem and many more just quickly click on the install even though there is an unknown publisher warning. You need to get your software developers to properly identify the update package, otherwise you are encouraging people to follow very unsafe personal security, something your company should be very concerned about, by installing software of unknown origin.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P> Sun, 18 Feb 2024 19:42:38 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-every-time-i-open-turbotax-it-ask-me-to-update-then-it-want-a-unknown-publisher-to-make-chan/01/3200136#M1176925 G_Sam 2024-02-18T19:42:38Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-every-time-i-open-turbotax-it-ask-me-to-update-then-it-want-a-unknown-publisher-to-make-chan/01/3207683#M1179620 <P><SPAN style="background-color:inherit;color:rgb(45,51,56);font-size:10.5pt;">Please call TurboTax Customer service</SPAN><SPAN style="background-color:inherit;color:windowtext;font-size:12pt;">.  Here is a link:  </SPAN><A href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/what-is-the-turbotax-phone-number/00/25632" target="_blank"><SPAN style="background-color:inherit;font-size:10.5pt;">Turbo Tax Customer Service</SPAN></A><SPAN style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:windowtext;font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</SPAN></P> Wed, 21 Feb 2024 15:32:52 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-every-time-i-open-turbotax-it-ask-me-to-update-then-it-want-a-unknown-publisher-to-make-chan/01/3207683#M1179620 CatinaT1 2024-02-21T15:32:52Z
