E-filing my return I'm getting error message: FAILED_VALIDATION. There is an update available. But when I check for updates, I'm getting: Your software is up to date.

Another user was able to solve this by updating his Windows.

1. Updated my WINDOWS software. 

2. Rebooted computer. 

3. Installed TurboTax update that was not previously available before Windows update was completed.

Here are several troubleshooting steps that you can try:

• If you are using a downloaded version, uninstall and reinstall the program from your MyDownloads folder.  How do I find my TurboTax for Windows software download?
• If that doesn't help, or you downloaded TurboTax from a CD, try a manual update. What is a manual update?
• Turning off your VPN and anti-virus software during the update can help as well.
