2025 Error 214

Error 214 is technically a "Runtime Error." It means the program is calling for a specific tool (usually a visual form or a calculator function) that Windows says "doesn't exist." This is almost always because the Visual C++ library is corrupted. Sometimes repairing Microsoft Visual C++ helps. 

If that doesn't help, try to reinstall TurboTax.
