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.

If you prefer, you can also reach out to TurboTax Customer Support for assistance: What is the TurboTax phone number?

Do you mean you are filing a state return and in a update loop? If so, which state are you in? I am going to post a few TurboTax FAQ's below that may help, if not and this is not what you are referring too, please reply back so we may assist you further.

We don't offer manual updates for TurboTax state software. If you need to update your state, here are your options.
