receiving error119

I created my return on 2/25/25. Today, 4/3/25, I tried to open that return in TurboTax and got error code 119.

What does this mean? I have seen other questions about this error code but the answers are varied. How do I narrow down what I need to do?

Your program might need to be updated to allow you to continue. I recommend following the steps in this link to troubleshoot your TurboTax Desktop program for Windows or this link if you are on a Mac.

Did you have to reinstall Turbo Tax or install it on another computer? For error codes 190 & 119

After you get the program installed or reinstalled the first thing to do before you open your tax return is to update the program and install any state programs you had. Then open your file. So you first might need to start a fake return to be able to download the state program (go to File-New Tax Return).

Then go to FILE -Open and find your return.
