How do I stop TT from installing states I don't use? I only need Vermont, but I'm getting updates for New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

You can remove the state files from your TurboTax program and this will stop TurboTax from getting updates for those states.

To do this:

  1. Make sure TurboTax is not open.
  2. Open Windows Explorer.
  3. Go to the Forms folder in TurboTax:  C:\Program Files (x86)\TurboTax\Deluxe 2018\Forms
  4. Delete these two folders:
  • mai_18    [Massachusetts]
  • nhi_18     [New Hampshire]

TurboTax will no longer get updates for these states.
