I'm on Mac OS using Premier version. I continually get error downloading the update. It worked fine until I tried to work on it on Sunday, 12 April. Have reinstalled it many times. Problem remains. Can't even open the application to proceed.

Do you have a question? @John527

If you're on a PC, open TurboTax and select Check for Updates from the Online menu near the top. On a Mac, simply quit and reopen TurboTax. If there are any updates, you'll be prompted to download them.

Tips:

It's best to use a wired, high-speed connection when updating, both to save time and minimize data corruption.
If your connection drops in the middle of the update, try again; it should pick up where it left off.
If you're having trouble updating on your PC, try a manual update.
