Turbotax Deluxe 2020 update fails every time after I start Turbotax. I tried to manually update with the w_perrelsuperpatch at the web site. Turbotax patch says it successfully updated the program but then it fails again when it restarts and tries to update online. Is there another way to get Turbotax Deluxe to work?

I was getting error 1603. I tried a number of things. I turned off anti-virus. I ran as administrator. I manually installed the update from a download. I repaired the install. Ran other software to fix broken registry items, etc...

 

What finally worked was un-isntalling and re-installing the Turbotax software. After re-installing, the update worked and I was finally able to continue using Turbotax.

Best bet is to uninstall TurboTax and re-install it. That was the only thing that worked for me.
