Do you realize that after three years users are still getting this error which shuts down Turbo tax before it even gets started? I chose the option to install on a larger SSD but now I am told to resolve error 209 I need to uninstall and reinstall on my OS Drive which has very limited space? Is this the best solution after three years? How about an urgent release to fix a pointer to the correct installed drive? Very disappointing that I cannot use the product in 2024 after using it for some 20 years.

Here it is a year later 1/17/25 and I just got the same error trying to load my new Turbo Tax Deluxe program.

I can't load the program without a crash and we are supposed to rely on their tax program for our 1040's??

I had received this error message when trying to boot TT Premier after downloading to an external hard drive. I uninstalled TT on that drive, and reinstalled it on the Hard drive on the PC. It worked.
