Different computers have different configurations and settings, so, some users may need to run the software in Administrator mode.

I got it working.  Thank you.

Great to hear, happy filling!

How do I get to the administration section

To run TurboTax Desktop in Administrator mode, just right click on the icon & select Run as administrator.

I clicked right on the TurboTax Icon, selected Run as Admin.   The application opened to the page where I can choose to copy from last year or start a new return.  But there is no User Account Control Box icon.  Help!

@Meambrsa Could you please clarify what do you mean by 'User Account Control Box" ? If you are looking for a navigation bar it's on the left hand side and at the top panel in a Desktop version.

This is unacceptable.  Turbotax requires me to run it in administrator mode.  You NEED to fix this bug.  No user should accept this level of intrusion by Turbotax.  This opens up every single user who needs to do this to potential malicious software.  FIX THIS ASAP.

@pluscher If you can only run TurboTax in Administrator Mode, then there is something on your computer that is preventing it from running normally. It might be anti-malware or other security software, or it may be the way your user account or your drive permissions are configured.
