eFiling issues

I'm trying to eFile my tax returns (Fed and State-CA) and I keep getting an error message that tells me I need an update to eFile.  It tells me to open the Update box but I do not see an update box on my Turbo Tax program.

@X54labs Please see the instructions below on how to do a manual update:

"There is an update available" message when attempting to e-file

 

I am also listing the below TurboTax FAQ's if needed:

If you have issues with the update, please try this:

Close the TurboTax program

Right click on the TurboTax desktop icon

Click on the Compatibility tab

Check the box Run as administrator

Click on Apply and then OK

 

Start the TurboTax program.  The software should update.
