Fails to EFile without update

[dwiz09]

SAME HERE

[SForrestLO]

This is a known issue.  When attempting to e-file a return in the TurboTax for Windows CD/Download software, this message appears:

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.

Workaround

Some customers have been able to successfully e-file with this workaround:

1. Follow the steps in the article Troubleshoot TurboTax for Windows updating issues.
2. Now try e-filing again. If that didn't work, first uninstall and then reinstall your TurboTax program.
3. Finally, if you're still unable to e-file after following the above steps, you can either sign up to be notified by email when a fix has been released, or you can file a conventional paper return.

I have the same problem. The patch ma_AnyTo019.000.1327 does not work either. At this point, Efile is not saving my time, but I am perfectly happy to mail it in.  However, I am furious that Intuit already charged me for something that didn't work. Now I am spending even more time just try to begin to get this $20 fee removed from my credit card.

I have always had good luck with Turbo Tax working on Windows 10..Now I cant file electronically without a update..All updates have been downloaded.. Have tried everything.. This may be the last time for Turbo Tax. Very frustrating.. Sure hope there is a fix coming soon.

Any update on this issue?  Are you guys working on a fix or what?  Any ETA on a fix?  Would be nice to hear from someone at TT regarding the issue and/or fix rather than us all just speculate in a forum.
