How do I check for updates

When I go to Review I don’t get any automatic updates which I was notified have been made; instead I get instructrions to complete my Massachusetts return, even though I have completed it with no red flags in the forms window.

How do I check for updates

I am encountering a state looping error for the state of Illinois.
It keeps saying "There is an update available for your version of TurboTax. Before you can file electronically, you’ll need to get this update. To do this, go to the Online menu and select Check for Updates."
However, after updating, the same message continues to reappear, resulting in an endless loop.
Is there a workaround for the state of Illinois?
I already paid the $19.99 file fee.😡
I also tried updating with the patch.

We do apologize for the issue that you continue to experience. Please click What is the TurboTax phone number and choose the version of TurboTax that you are using to connect with the correct agent. Let the agent know that you are having problems with a known issue and that you need for them to first push the federal download and then the state download.

TurboTax for Mac automatically adds the current tax form updates whenever you select Check for Updates from the TurboTax menu. This creates the illusion that updates are available even if you're on the latest release.

If you want to make sure you're up-to-date, quit and reopen TurboTax. If you're not on the latest release, the program will automatically download it.

How do I check for updates

If you are using TurboTax Online, updates occur automatically.   If you are using MAC, the program updates when you start the program - and for the Window version, see below:

 

If you're on a PC, open TurboTax and select Check for Updates from the Online menu near the top. On a Mac, simply quit and reopen TurboTax. If there are any updates, you'll be prompted to download them.

 

 

Tips:

  • It's best to use a wired, high-speed connection when updating, both to save time and minimize data corruption.
  • If your connection drops in the middle of the update, try again; it should pick up where it left off.
  • If you're having trouble updating on your PC, try a manual update.

How do I check for updates

f you can't update your TurboTax for Windows software using the normal update method, you can download and install a manual update. This is an executable file that can be downloaded locally or onto a removable device for transfer to another computer.

Manual updates are available for TurboTax for Windows federal CD/Download software products. They're not available for the Mac or TurboTax State programs, nor will they convert an older version of TurboTax to the current version.

See the Related Information section for more info.
