When clicking to file my returns, it states that an update is needed. I received the latest updates and it still will not file and continues to alert me to update. What do I need to do?

Actually I found the answer myself and downloaded an update patch. This is where to find it...
1. Click on Help Center (UL menu bar)
2. Click on Support
3. Enter "Check for Updates" in the search a question or keyword field
4. Scroll down & click on "Manually Update Turbo Tax for Windows Software (Basic, Deluxe, Premier, Home & Business"
5. Under the heading "Turbo Tax 2020 Individual-15.1", Click on #2 to download the 189MB Update
Follow download process instructions. I reopened the Turbo Tax program and was then able to complete the electronic filing and received a confirmation message.

I am unable to file my state return. It's states
there is an error in question 174B??, where if I have a 2nd office, it needs to add up to item 174 A. I don't have a 2nd office, so 0 does not work. The total expense of 1276, does not work either. Help, I'm stuck. I was also unable to download 2020 updates as told to under entering a question.
