TurboTax Problem, can’t save on Mac, solution:
Our family has successfully used this solution on 6 of our returns. You only have to do it once for the year you use TurboTax. I'm not a tech expert, but I pieced together a lot of responses till I found a combo that works. I'm an 82 y/o grandma; Senior Power!!
Make sure your TurboTax program is open and active.
Click on the Apple icon (upper left corner of Mac screen).
Click System Preferences.
Click Security and Privacy.
Click on the Privacy tab in the upper part of the window.
Click the yellow lock icon, lower left corner.
Enter your password and click Unlock. The icon will change to an open lock icon.
In the left panel, scroll to Full Disk Access and click on it.
In the right panel, scroll and look for TurboTax (year xxxx) and CHECK it. If TurboTax is not in the list, click the plus sign + that is just below the list. Navigate to the TT program, click it and click Open.
Click “Quit and Reopen”. This should grant you full access to save your TurboTax return wherever you prefer (such as on a thumb drive).
Note: This apparently disabled the “AutoSave” function in TT. Perhaps someone else can send us that solution.
