Hi,

I have installed both Turbo Tax Home & Business and also Turbo Tax Business. I cannot open a previous file; get error - Some formsets are not present on this machine. Please install all formsets. Error 190. Any ideas please?

Since you have two TurboTax products installed, be sure you are opening the correct data file. Both a personal tax data file and a Business Edition data file end in the same *.tax201x file extension, which can be confusing.

You will also get this error if the return has state(s) in the file, but you don't have all the state products installed.

Okay can someone please help??? I've had nothing but issues since 1/29/20. It started off allowing me to do my taxes until time to efile. Once I hit efile it said some of my forms were't available. It prompted me to follow steps and I did so, and still the same issue happened again. I then hit the button to resolve it said it was downloading my state files and preceded to say it was up to date. Turbo tax also emailed me and said my forms were available for download. I also downloaded the link sent to me. still not working. I was issued another copy of turbotax home/Office and I downloaded it and then it wasn't allowing me to upload my ready to file return and started saying the same thing but it has my forms for federal and state. I've tried everything to fix this. I

started researching and found a bunch of others was also having these issues or similar. I tried so many different things. compatibility trouble shooter, running as admin. Uninstalling, reinstalling, turning off automatic updates,firewall, anti-virus software, I also did a manual update for the software and state forms. I went through a 4 hour session with a rep on the phone and she walked me through so many steps to fix and not a one of them fixed. I'm about ready to get my money back and go with another software if I don't have this fixed and all taxfiles efiled by tomorrow. 2/16/20. I'm far from a rookie with turbotax, I've used this every year for many years, I also file others taxes every year.I'm about 5 hours away from being a anti-Turbotax user, recommender, (my own word) if this isn't fixed quick!!!! I've lost hell of time and money due to TURBOTAX and can prove it! I was told they haven't been able to fix this issue so If that's the case why continue selling it?? Talking it up like it's awesome however it's NOT!!! [email address removed]

I had the same problem and did not get any helpful answer. Then I found out that I had to clean up state forms.

There are two situations I am aware of that will generate the 190 error.

- Trying to open a personal 1040 .tax file with TurboTax Business and vice-versa

- If the .tax file includes one or more state returns, then you MUST install all applicable state return modules before you will be able to open it. Multiple attempts to open the file without the state return modules installed and updated seems to have a very high potential of corrupting the tax file beyond any possibility of recovery by any means.

How do you fix what??? You haven't said what you are doing. This is an old thread from last year with various users with multiple issues.

What tax year are you referring to?

What product are you referring to--a personal tax product or the dedicated TurboTax Business Edition? Or do you have both a personal product and the business product installed and trying to open a tax data file with the wrong one?

Are you getting Error 190 when opening a prior-year data file that has a state return? If so, see this FAQ:

Sorry, but I don't know what you are doing, and there's no context provided for your question. You didn't describe the details of any issue, so we don't know what you're doing or even what product you are using. Are you using desktop software (CD/download) to prepare a 2020 personal tax return? Or are you preparing a 2020 Business return (S-corp, C-corp, Partnership, Multimember LLC, etc.?) Or are you using Online TurboTax for a 2020 personal tax return?

Are you using both the Business Edition software and a desktop personal tax product?

Since you're posting in this old thread, is your topic the same as the threadowner? i.e., are you getting Error 190, when you try to open a *.taxYYYY data file?

With little information to go on, I'll assume you are using the 2020 dedicated Business Edition (S-corp, C-corp, partnership, multimember LLC, etc.) as opposed to a personal tax product. You didn't provide any description of your issue. What and where is the roadblock, and is there any error message?

Do you have the *.tax2019 Business edition data file from last year's Business return on your computer? If so, when you start a new return in the Business Edition it should search for the *.tax2019 data file, and if it finds it, it should ask you if you want to transfer it into 2020. If it doesn't find it, you can use the Browse feature to point it to the file. But be sure it (or you) is not trying to transfer from a personal tax data file. See the note below:

NOTE: A 2019 Business Edition data file ends in *.tax2019, but a 2029 personal tax data file also ends in *.tax2019. So be sure that you are not trying to transfer a personal tax data file by mistake into your 2020 business return.

I AGREE, I AM HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. TURBOTAX HAS SKREWED THIS UP HORRIBLY. TTAX SAID THAT ESTATE K1 FORMS WERE NOT AVAILABLE, THEN I FOUND THE FORMS ON IRS, BUT NO INSTRUCTIONS. I WAITED FROM EARLY FEB TILL NOW AND FOUND OUT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, SO FAR I HAVE DELETED AND REINSTALLED NET.FRAMEWORK, UNINSTALLED TTAX. 1 FILE, THE BASIC FILE REINSTALLED FINE, BUT THE 2ND FILE WON'T RELOAD. NOW GETTING THIS ERROR. I SEE THAT SOMEONE SAYS 2 FILES ARE CONFUSING FOR TURBOTAX, BUT I STARTED TTAX BY DOUBLE CLICKING THE FILE IN EXPLORER, IT TRIED TO OPEN IN HOME BUSINESS. HOW ABOUT TELLING US HOW TO FIX SOMETHING HERE.

If you are having an error with Formsets, please delete your state return and then add it back as follows. This has been clearing up the issue for most users.

To do this, log back into TurboTax.

Select State in the black panel on the left hand side of your screen when logged into TurboTax.
This will take you to a screen titled Let's get your state taxes done right. Click continue on this screen.
You will see a list with Status of your state returns.
Simply select Delete to the right of any returns affected.
You can then select Add Another State to prepare your state return again and go through the interview questions to repopulate your state tax return.

Hi Jotika,

thanks for your prompt reply, but it ain't that simple. I am the executor of my Mom's estate, I have 4 sibling clamoring for their k-1's, so this is URGENT for me. My Mom passed away in 2019. I filed her return TTX online basic for free. Now I am filing the close of the estate. I found out that the basic did not handle K-1's for estate and upgraded online from basic to Home&Business. Everything dowloaded and worked until March when I found out that the messages, that the IRS k-1's were not release was false, even though I had been updating TTX without any sign of a change. Then I started getting error and could not open the file or delete it. I finally cycle net.framwork and I was able to delete both files. (forgot to mention that I had a return started for myself on the computer, it was orignally installed as basic, the upgraded to H&B, but this file has never been an issue. Now I have reinstalled TTX, transferred the information on my personal file w/o issue, but Mom's 190 error persisted. I moved the TTX download files to different folders. I am now creating from scratch, but the software questions are not appropriate for Estate&Trusts, ie. it won't accept date of death in 2019? This was not a problem in the original file, appears that I do not have the right software. What can I do?

@rudolfhg To file an Estate Tax Return Form 1041 and generate K-1 forms, you need TurboTax Business Edition, which is a desktop product that you can order online and download to your computer.

I'm sorry, but we don't know anything about what your situation is, what all have you have done, and what all you are trying to do. We don't even know know what product you are referring to. We don't know what the "it" is that you are trying to open. What is the "it?" Is it a *.taxYYYY data file that you are trying to open with desktop software (CD/download?) If so, what tax year, and what edition (Deluxe, Premier, etc.)?

If it's a *.tax2020 data file, have you already filed your 2020 return, or are you in the process of preparing one?

Or are you using Online TurboTax and don't know how to open the return interview for an unfiled 2020 online return?

If you describe what your issue is so that folks can understand your situation, someone may be able to comment in this user community forum. Or if you wish, here's how to phone TurboTax Support on Monday:

Hours are currently 5AM-5PM Pacific (8AM-8PM Eastern) Monday-Friday

If you can't get your return to open, you can't remove the state from your return. You have to first install the state program to open a .tax file.

Or do you want to delete a state return?
