I estimate my taxes as well, so that I can make a Q4 estimated payment if necessary. I had been using TurboTax 2019 to get a rough estimate for 2020, and just got TurboTax 2020 within the last week. This is the first year where I've gotten a "Not ready" error when visiting a section in TurboTax. As it turns out, I was able to switch to Forms, and enter the data directly into the forms to get my estimate.

I read the activation FAQ before buying TT 2020 this year, and it helped when the one day activation problem recurred this year. Like last year, activation lasted one day. However, instead of reactivating, I closed TT 2020, paused my antivirus and firewall, restarted TT 2020, and the activation prompt went away. If it happens again (it happened twice last year), I should be able to confirm that it's a firewall issue. From what I've read, H&R Block's activation kicks in with each Federal filing, e-file or print, to limit to five filings, rather than to a hard limit of five installs, as is the case with TurboTax. As some of us in this thread are losing some/all of our five installs to activation glitches rather than installing on multiple computers, this may be something for TurboTax to consider.

Hi, The link for TurboTax release notes is for TurboTax 2018. Is there a link for 2019? I had one update for TT2019 upon install a week or so back, and another update tonight. Thanks, -Scotty

Hi, I downloaded, installed, and activated TurboTax 2019 Premier for Windows, purchased from Amazon, on Sunday 11/17/2019 and got started on my returns. Everything seemed to be working fine. I was required to activate again when starting TurboTax tonight, 11/18/2019. I'm running Windows 10 Home 1909 version 10.0.18363.476 I don't know how activation works internally, but if it works by system thumbprint where multiple activations of the same thumbprint count as a single activation, I should be fine. If it's a simple numerical count, I could end up having a problem down the road if this keeps happening.
