This laptop is office laptop which allows to install software using a "Thyocatic Administrator" option. The TurboTax 2018 software was installed successfully and I was able to begin my federal tax. When I try to install the California state tax patch, the updater gives are error message for failed update because of signature invalid. See attached screenshot (Updater_Error_CA_01192018.png) for details of the error. If I can manually download the software patch for CA, I can install it.

This looks very similar to a the problem I had. After the initial installation of TurboTax 2018 Premier, when the program tried to update with the latest versions, it would fail with errors similar to what you are seeing.
I've attached a paper I wrote that describes what I saw and how to solve it. I recommend you check the Analysis section of the paper to see if you are seeing the same FIPS error. If you are, then the Solution section should work.

You are commenting on an older thread that does not relate to this issue. However, you can work on Turbo Tax using different platforms but you cannot use different platforms at the same time.
