Getting error 190. I have completed suggested fixes without success. Did a fresh download and went through the advised steps: Need Help

You may receive the following error message when trying to open your file in TurboTax Desktop:

The tax return you are attempting to load contains one or more state tax forms which are not installed on this machine. Please install state(s) to continue.

Follow these steps to fix the error:

Open TurboTax and select Start a new return.
Go to State Taxes.
Download the states you need.
- There may be a fee if you need more than one state or if your version of TurboTax doesn't include one free state download.
Close TurboTax.

Reopen TurboTax.
Open the file that generated the error.
