Hello,

 

In order to update Turbotax for Mac, some steps to follow are:

 

  • Make sure you're running the program from the Applications folder, not from a mounted virtual drive or CD
  • Wireless connections can be problematic. We recommend updating over a wired, broadband connection
    • If you don't have access to broadband, try restarting your wireless router
  • Empty the Trash
  • Force the update to download and install
  • If you're still having problems, turn off your computer, then your router, and lastly your modem, in that order
    • Wait a minute or two, then turn your modem back on
    • Wait another minute, then turn your router back on
    • Once your router is back up, turn your computer back on and try updating again

As a final workaround, you can try using TurboTax Online which is browser based and doesn't require updates. For Turbotax Online for individual personal taxes, please see:
