Same problem as above.  I need to file 1040x for 2019 but can't open my return.  Solution without paying again?

The answer that worked for me is earlier in the thread. Make sure that you only have USB devices plugged in that were connected to your computer that were there when you originally activated it. I didn't know this the first time that this happened to me so I called TurboTax support and they gave me a new activation code. The next time that I saw the solution from this thread It has worked every time since then.

 

The next time the program wants to update just tell it no. It should be unnecessary this many years later.

This is total BS. It's happening with Turbotax 2023. I can't recall any USB drives when I originally installed it. This bug is years long.
