I finished the federal return and on the tab for the state taxes; however, even though it has my state and the "start" button next to it, each time I press start to begin, it pops up to download the state documents, but it would conclude that Turbotax is up to date. I cannot get past this to continue with the state return.
Try this recently updated FAQ. There's a state fix file download and run.

Your fix program doesn't work at all and I already paid for my state program and now I cannot get it. Your IT group is horrible that they cannot seem to get this fixed. You have enough people complaining about the same thing. Run this through your test environment and get the loop taken care of. I have wasted enough time and money trying to figure out your poor programming.
I had to contact Turbotax via phone (not too long a wait, 5 min?), they authorized the California state tax forms/installer and emailed the link to it and the code to enable it. Closed Turbotax, ran CA installer, which reopened the main program and all worked fine from there on.
A user helped me fix this probably like a month ago using a windows command and now I can't find their post. If anyone can provide a copy of that post I would greatly appreciate it because it worked and I foolishly didn't keep the directions and need to do it again.
