The patch that is listed is not compatible with Home and Business.  It appears that no one at Turbo Tax is working to resolve this issue.  

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, updating manaully and nothing is working.

I am not able to file my taxes using this software.  If this is not resolve, I will have no choice but to use a differnt software.  In addition, no one is addressing this 

If you have uninstalled, reinstalled, and manually updated your software and are still having issues.  You can contact TurboTax using this link.

Too late.  I tried to E file, they took my payment for state filing.  Then when I clicked on file it would not file.

I have a MAC and the trouble shoot instructions said close the file and reopen.  My entire tax file is now gone, not saved anywhere even though I had opened it several times before in the last month.
