Is there a way to do this without losing my almost completed data?

@mm33ee - The .tax2017 data file that should be in your Documents Folder will not be affected by uninstalling the software.

If restarting the Mac does not solve it then:

Updating MacOS to the latest used to help me once in this situation, but now it's happening again.
