Turbotax Error Code: 25300

[Critter]

If you saved the return the last time you had it open then the data file is not gone it is just hiding ... WIN 10 has a habit of putting things in the trash ... do a system wide search for anything ending in .tax

Previous version restored data. Thank goodness for that......

Data file was there... data in the file was gone. I get it this should not happen. Previous version was OK, Just another frustration over his year's update issues.

Same problem. Installed 2019 TurboTax earlier this week. Updated today and now was asked to register again. Then I got error 25300 and program switched forms. So I uninstalled TT and and didn't ask to active but I still got error 25300. Did the uninstall. reinstall, auto-update dance again and same problem. I am on Windows 10. What's up?

I was able to correct the problem myself. The issue had nothing to do with my system or operating system. I have also stopped auto-updates. I will update as needed and again right before I file. After using TurboTax for over 20 years this is probably the last time. There is no excuse for such poor software execution.

after installing updates today, got error code25300. could not continue my return. your system displayed alternative minimum tax form. How can your update error be corrected?

I have just purchased Primer turbo tax 2019 and keeping getting the error code 25300.  When will it be fixed and what does it mean I am unable to access my tax return for 2019

Here's what fixed it for me.

First, try running TT in advanced mode (right-click and choose "run as administator"), after which it should update normally. If not, uninstall TT, reboot, reinstall it and then run it in advanced mode. After it updates, all should be back to normal.

This worked for me too

This worked for me as well.

Running the Installer in Administrator mode solved the problem for me.
