TurboTax won't load or start

20260301_160911_resized.jpg20260301_161644_resized.jpg

On my laptop I have TT 2023, 2024 & 2025. Only 2023 will start and run. 2024 just recently stopped working after a year. I just downloaded 2025 and it too won't start or run. I uninstalled and reinstalled both with restarts  but get the same result. My laptop recently took an Windows 11 update. Could this be related ? If so why does 2023 still work ?

 

Thanks and God bless

Leon

TurboTax won't load or start

You can try these steps:

  • For 2024/2025 versions, you may need to temporarily disable your antivirus, update Windows, or reinstall the software. 
  • You can try running as Administrator.  Click the red logo.
  • TurboTax desktop issues can be caused by corrupt Microsoft Visual C++
    • Go to Control Panel 
    • Programs and Features
    • locate all Microsoft Visual C++ packages (2015-2022)
    • right-click each, 
      • select Change
      • And then Repair
    • Restart your computer afterward.
  • If you just installed it, right-click the installer, 
    • choose Properties, 
    • and "Unblock" it.
  • This is a guide to Troubleshooting TurboTax Desktop for Windows?
