For years we used Turbo Tax online. This year, we purchased to the desktop version (+ state ) accidentally, but given the cost and impossibility of a refund, have gone ahead and tried to use it. We successfully e-filed Federal and KS returns. However, we also need to e-file our Missouri returns, which we paid for, and the system keeps crashing at the final step. I have closed the app, looked for updates, shut down and rebooted the computer, tried logging on with a VPN (we are overseas so cannot call for assistance), but nothing has worked. Every time we make it to the last page before payment (where it says "Do you want to save a copy before you e-file") - i don't see a place to upload screenshots here, or i would, it just crashes. Then gives me a pop up with all the code details that it says it will send to Apple "TurboTax unexpectedly quit..." Could someone please tell me what the problem is and how to fix it? Thank you.
Since you mentioned "Apple", I'll assume you are using a Mac. I'm not a Mac person, but I'll ask @macuser_22 if he has any thoughts on how to troubleshoot your program crash when next in the forum.
Hi there...since you were kind enough to respond at all, @mesquitebean , I wonder if you could tell me. Does anyone from Intuit actually check this to chime in, or is it users/clients only? I am not sure what to do to get actual support since we are overseas and they only offer a phone number. Just curious...thanks!
Is it actually crashing of just "hanging" with a spinning beach ball? If hanging than wait it out and let it spin for 3-45 minutes. (At times something else on the Mac can block the print function such a virus . software.) Or don't print.
Usually it will eventually print and then it will no longer hang.
If it is a real crash and not a hang then:
Corruption could have occurred in the Application or in an associated preference or support file.
The best remedy is to totally uninstall TurboTax and all associate files and then re-install. That will not delete or change any .tax2021 data file that had already been created with the tax data.
To uninstall the application and all associated files need to be deleted and then the application reinstalled. If there was a state then the state must also be reinstalled.
To remove TurboTax from your computer, you'll need administrative rights.

This is mainly a user community forum. There are Intuit seasonal employees who post in the forum during the day, mainly answering tax questions and software usage questions and less commonly will they get involved in technical questions.
AFAIK, TurboTax technical support/software engineers do not tend to view and respond to posts in the forum. Granted I don't see every post, but I see a lot and don't encounter any technical employees. I personally think they should assign someone on a rotational basis to view the forum an hour or two a day looking for technical issues.
If you need to reach them and can't phone the 800 number from overseas (some countries don't allow; plus I suspect it would not be free from overseas, so toll charges could add up quickly), you can reach TurboTax Support by messaging at Twitter or Facebook (links below), and let them suggest something for your issue or the best way for you to get tech support. Even when people phone in, it can sometimes be hard for them to get to someone with a depth of technical savvy for complicated issues, especially for Mac computers, unless they are bumped up to a supervisor, etc.
But I'd first follow whatever advice
macuser_22
provides you.

Thanks @macuser_22 , it is a real crash. So I will try the uninstall and reinstall instructions. Thanks so much.
Thanks @mesquitebean , this is incredibly helpful too. I will try @macuser_22 's advice, and if it doesn't work, i'll use one of the social media channels you suggested. cheers, c
Hello @macuser_22 , unfortunately that didn't work. :( I uninstalled everything, reinstalled the software, and encountered the exact same error. Is there any way you can tell from the following code (which pops up after the software crashes) about what the problem is? thanks again, c (sending in two batches due to character limits)

I’ve been having a similar issue with a desktop version for a Mac as well.
Uninstalled, cleared library, cleared cache, cleared all TurboTax2021 related files, reinstalled, did that all again with a different copy of TurboTax 2021. After importing the .tax file in order to complete the e-file. TurboTax still crashes leaving several pages of code, including error code: 0x02000148.

Hello @TheSpaceMonkey ,
I eventually wrote to TurboTax on their Facebook page and it turns out this is a problem occurring for others, so they have opened a case and perhaps you could also write them and ask to be added as a user on the case? Not really sure how it will all work, but this is what they sent me via FB:
"To do so, please send an email to [email address removed] with {7410330} in the subject line. In the email, please include: 1. Full Name w/ middle initial (include Secondary taxpayer, if applicable) 2. Zip code and county 3. Phone number associated with your TurboTax account 4. Last 4 of SSN 5. Birth year only 6. Email(s) associated with your TurboTax account."
You could try to do the same, or perhaps contact them via FB as well, since they said they would be responding via that thread once they have follow up.
Cheers,
Carly
Sorry...intuit is removing the email from my message that they asked me to write to. It is

I didn't even get to filing. Spent 1.5 hrs entering all my info til I get to my charities and then the system locked up and to force quit turbo tax to stop pin wheel. Now when logging back on it doesn't even have all my past years info.
Not a happy camper at all. This performance sucks.
I have Turbo Tax Home & Business 2021 Desktop and am having the SAME issue. The whole app crashes. And first name, last name, SS and other W2 details get deleted. I tried this on TWO computers (both Windows - one Win11 & one Win10). I'm ready to e-file but it simply won't work...
Were you able to clear the error with this? I am still experiencing the same crash at filing stage after following this guide to delete and reinstall. :(

Yes I was able to submit the max of 3 states and federal. I had to do them each individually and wait to get notice that each were accepted first. I took many backups along the way (saving the file with new names) and had to use the backups too as key data would get stripped/lost. It was very frustrating but ultimately worked. Make sure you run a check for errors at federal and state level before attempting to file. The app was SUPER slow and no n responsive at times and I had to shut it down and have it recover the file too. Horrible experience but done. What took me minutes in years past took about 5 hours of trial and error.
Thank you! Very Helpful! TT crashed when I tried to file. After many hours and 5 calls to the help desk, no one could resolve my issue. I finally tried to file everything separately, as you suggested. Federal filed. State filed. The issue was with the City forms. This is was the cause of the program to close out at filing. I will just mail my city return.
I can also confirm that it is an issue with the KC e-File submission. I was able to file Federal, KS, and MO without issue after changing the Kansas City RD-109 submission to "Do not e-file now". After submitting Fed/State I attempted to e-File just the KC submission and it immediately crashed at the exact same screen as @cmmullins1s.
Wow, I am having this same problem too. I just read through this whole thing and spent the whole day trying to get a hold of tech support only for them to have me set up to talk to a higher up tomorrow.... I am so glad I clicked on page two to see this. Did this work for you? Can I file both state and federal at the same time BUT not city? Can you let me know what was causing the issue? I dont want to have to lose any information deleting state along the way if i dont have to... I can worry about the city problem later. What did you do? This problem must be only for Kansas city people. Geesh.
Hi @jakeanderson44 ,
YES, it did finally work. Sorry if you saw my earlier reply that it didn't work. In fact it did. Please try again. Finally the state went through. OMG. It was brutal though.
To clarify for future readers: Kansas City filing is causing the glitch. 1. File Federal only. 2. File state only - another contributor stated that they had to file each state separately. 3. Print the KC return and mail. I requested via Facebook that TT please send a note to all Missouri filers with this guidance but doubt this will happen.
Although Kansas is one of the states I prepared, I did NOT attempt to efile it. I only efiled CA, OR and MA (side note i dont get why we are limited to efile 3 states whereas TT Online can do 5).
I have suspicion (but not hard data) that OR was the issue. Or maybe it was KS since when I file CA (my primary residence) it has to file all states I have taxes for...
So maybe CA was the culprit but not because of CA but because of KS? no idea... but again patience, state by state, and saving multiple backups as I went was key... else the program would lose key data (particularly from W2s) after a crash. After manually re entering twice, I learned to take backups.
last note, I did not have any city taxes in KS since I don't live there. my one employee was actually in Wichita (not Kansas City which someone else mentioned as an issue)
Thanks everyone. Helping my daughter with her taxes and ran into this problem. I'm on the KS side and don't have to file the Kansas City MO return, so my Fed and KS returns went off without a hitch. She lives in downtown KC, so needs to file in MO and KCMO. Once I clicked the selection to only file the Fed and MO returns, her filings sailed right through. Thanks for sharing your findings, you saved me a bunch of time and frustration on the Saturday night before filing. Take Care!
