Where are the 2016 manual updates for windows? the Mac version is at R8 and the windows version is at R6?

The programs don't always update at the same time and since many of the forms will not be ready until 1/6/17 or later it really doesn't matter ...

Hope you found the right answer below; just curious to know why are you looking out for manual update. Can you please share?

@TurboTax_SP - See OP's comment on his question two years ago:
"I can only use a manual update as the TurboTax computer is only off-line for security reasons."

Got it! Thanks for sharing. Yes, manual update is the perfect solution in this case.

You can download the R8 manual update for Windows from the following link. The FAQ hasn't been updated.
