I am also unable to download Maryland and have tried 6 times. All I get is a white screen with a button at bottom to close. If you click on that it goes away with nothing downloaded

I am having exactly the same problem trying to download the State of Virginia...it returns a blank window with a "Close" on the lower right corner.  When "Close" is pressed the message says: "Error downloading your Turbotax product. The state product for Turbotax could not be downloaded. Please try again later"
