when I try to start up Turbo Tax I get the message:

TurboTax - Error

Looks like we've run into an error.

 

We're sorry but we need to close TurboTax....

 

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but no success.   I have left a return email on this send form but got no response.   I have had to file an extension.   Very frustrating.

I have tried everything in the article.  I have turned off antivirus software, run as administrator, gone to the defragment  section and optimized hard drive.   I have sent repeated emails.  I have spent over an hour on the phone with one of your representatives.   He was unable to help me and told me it is a known issue.    when I go to update drivers, windows 11 informs me it is up to date.   I have not been able to file my taxes!!!

This program turbo tax business 2024 was working well last January when I initially installed it.   I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but no success.  

The only thing i can figure out, is that turbo tax stopped working in early February.  According to my update history, I received a windows 11 update 24H2.  It says successfully installed on 02/04/2025.  Turbo tax stopped working after that.   I will try to uninstall that update and see if that fixes it.    If it does not, I may be forced  to pursue other options, and perhaps seek a refund on this software
