All of the links for these "fixes" are broken.

Can someone PLEASE post the updated link?

2015 is no longer supported by TurboTax so they removed the "fix" script.

I don't know is this will work - I have not tried to attach a file in this now forum before, but I saved a copy of the FixTY14AndTY15 2.command file.

Hmmm - it would not let me post a  file so I added .dodx at the end - so if you can upload the file remove the .docx.

 Double clicking on the FixTY14AndTY15 2.command should automatically open a Terminal window and run the command that only removes a java script element from the 2014 & 2015 Applications/TurboTax.app files.

NOPE; It will not allow me to post the scrip.

Thanks for trying.

The script is just text.  If you open the file in a text editor, you should be able to cut and paste the text into a reply.

Thanks Again for trying!

I don't think that will work well since the long lines were wrapped into two lines.   I don't know of it is possible to paste long lines of script without them being wrapped into two lines  by this forum and that will not run correctly.

[RikWeb28]

Thanks for the script.

The long lines only looked like they wrap.

The patch was applied successfully.

Other folks say printing is a problem, but I'm able to read the generated tt2014 file using the PC version.

my checksum came back as "19085 3" but it worked fine.

By the way, I enjoyed the typo in:

     echo "Goind to patch ${JS_File_To_Be_Updated} file"

Thanks again!

(I noticed the type also) Actually I had correspondence with the author of the script when it was being developed so I know that English is not his first language.   But the script was well written.

You should be able to print from 2015.   There was an issue since 2014 & 2015 use an external "Secure print server" that was taken down, but it seems to be running now.  I just tried printing from 2015 and it works ok.

I have this same problem, but I am not sure I understand how you fixed it.  What do I copy and paste and where do I paste it?

[macuser_22]

If you are not familuar with the terminal and unix scripts I don't suggest that you try.  As stated posting the script into an reply box wrapped some lines.    What lines and how to proceed would be obvious to a knowledgeable person.   I was hesitant to post it but the other poster seemed to know what to do.

When opening TurboTax for Mac after installation, you may see the TurboTax checkmark icon bounce a few times before disappearing from the menu bar. This can be accompanied by the error: TurboTax 20xx can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

@TerukoL This thread is about TurboTax 2014 & 2015 Mac desktop software that cannot be opened at all after the OSX 10.13.3 update.  TurboTax Mac developers wrote a unix script to remove a java script element in the TurboTax application package to allow TurboTax 2014 & 2015 to run.

Since  TurboTax no longer supports 2014 & 2015 the link pointing to that scrip has been removed.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with opening  TurboTax on a Mac running OSX 10.15 (Catalina).
