TurboTax 2018 - trapped in the CA state download/install loop


@bmerchant wrote:

This is still a problem with the 2019 TurboTax and CA state program.  I have the latest updates, on a Mac.  And - for the Mac - What and Where is the Go menu?  Doing a search for those folders does not bring anything up.

 


The "Go" is the Mac Finder menu.

TurboTax 2018 - trapped in the CA state download/install loop

In case this helps anyone having this issue in 2020 with NY state return:

I navigated to the following folder: Library/Application Support/TurboTax 2020/Forms -- and I deleted the NY folder.  I restarted TurboTax and it asked me to download NY, which then seems to have worked and properly installed the NY forms.

TurboTax 2018 - trapped in the CA state download/install loop

This is so horrible that the company has been made aware of this bug in 2018 and they have yet not fixed it in 2023. I tried all the recommendations and nothing works. They provide some program for fixing this on Windows but not on Mac. I think this is the last year I'll use Turbotax if the billion dollar company cannot even fix a simple computer bug going on for 5 years now.
