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.
I try to update Turbo Tax 2020 but I get an installation error 1630 and I have tried to manually update but it will not execute. Does anyone have a solution. I have used it to do my taxes and needed to get back in to amend and now it doesn't work. HELP!!!!!!!
Will I lose the tax file that I was working on if I delete the Turbo Tax and reload?
No, you will not. Do a search of your files and find the file ending with .Tax2020. This is your 2020 TurboTax data file. Move it to another directory or your desktop then uninstall TurboTax and re-install. The file should be in your computer Documents folder then TurboTax subdirectory.
Uninstalling and reinstalling will NOT delete your tax file.
Turbotax update fails every time. Manually updated with w_perrelsuperpatch - patch. what do i do?
Best bet is to uninstall TurboTax and re-install it. That was the only thing that worked for me.
Manual updates failed again. I had so much trouble getting the License to work this year that I'm not really thrilled with deleting the program and trying to reinstall.
