Turbotax 2019

Purchased and downloaded Turbotax 2019, but my Mac won't open it because it can't verify that malicious software is not in the download. What do I need to do to open it?

I have iMac running Catalina and I cannot load TurboTax 2019. It says that Malicious code cannot be checked.

Unable to download 2019 Basic for MAC.  At one point Intuit told me I haven't completed my 2018 return (not true).

Did you purchase the TurboTax Basic edition for tax year 2019 from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/

 

If so, what exactly happens when you try to download the software from your download account here - https://shopping.turbotax.intuit.com/unified/downloads?route=myaccounts

I have been on hold for over 2 hours so I went on line and sent a message which came back with a different 800 #.  When I dialed this I got transferred to the earlier number and I am on hold once again.  When I was sent my download for 2019.  The download for MAC is 2017.  This can't be correct.  How do I get the correct download.  This is sooo frustrating.

Mac OS Catalina defaults to download from Apple Stores only. I switched to download from everyplace and I downloaded Turbo 2019 correctly. Thanks

Running Catalina 10.15.13.  Turbotax Delux downloaded fine.  It actually worked for one day. In fact, I complete my taxes but just didn't file. 

 

Since then, it will not open. App icon bounces, the "verifying" splash screen flashes for an instant, then nothing.  I have uninstalled completely (indluding files under 'preferences' 'cache' 'saved application state' and so on. Reinstalled with my purchased link.  Reinstalled with a link sent no charge from Intuit.  Tried running in safe mode.  Nothing has worked. 

 

I cannot use the online version of TT because of my tax situation.  Will it help to downgrade from Catalina to whatever we had before?
