Trouble with TurboTax installation

Hi Darry,


Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing currently. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

I would like to inform you that this issue might occur if the TurboTax application is not compatible to run on Windows 10.

I suggest you to try installing the TurboTax in compatibility mode and check if it helps.

Refer to the below link, to install a program in compatibility mode.

Note: Applies to Windows 10 as well.

Hope the information helps. Please let us know if the issue persist and we will be happy to assist you further.

 

Trouble with TurboTax installation

I've installed (and reinstalled) 2 different versions of TurboTax (first Home and Business, then Premier) multiple times each. No matter what, once installed, when I click on the turbotax.exe icon (both the shortcut on the screen and the program icon in
the TurboTax directory I get the following message: "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\TurboTax\Premier 2015\32bit\TurboTax.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again." This is the only program with which I've had this problem.

 

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
