Error message that says my return cannot be saved. Using Premier for Mac

[fwmouse]

I got that error, then found that I was accidentally attempting to save the file to another user's directory on my Mac,  and thus won't have the write permission. I changed the save directory to my own directory and it worked.

The link leads into a perpetual circle. This problem requires a real person who knows the guts of Turbotax, not a _tax_ expert!

What link are you referring to?

Spent an afternoon entering  data in TurboTax Deluxe, attempted to save a secure version with a password, got a message "The password must be between 8 and 32 characters long." Finally saved without a password to not lose the data..

I have deluxe and am experiencing the same issue.  It started when I first saved and did not select the encryption option.  At one point, I was not allowed to e-file and the reason was that the return could not be saved.  I force quit and repeated the e-file process and it went through (I think).  Waiting to hear from IRS.

That worked.  I went into System Preferences, Privacy & Security, then Full Disk Access, then Click the lock to make changes and selected Turbo Tax.  That did it.  Move this message to the top!!!!

Try this: I went into System Preferences, Privacy & Security, then Full Disk Access, then Click the lock to make changes and selected Turbo Tax.  That did it.  Move this message to the top!!!!

I use a MAC lap-top.  I cannot get to the bottom of the pages to 'save' my data.  How do I save data?
