TurboTax Application Settings

MM130 · ‎January 10, 2024

I installed TurboTax 2023 Desktop version from the download file.

When I entered the license code, upon restart an error message appeared that stated "TurboTax application settings were not created properly during the installation."

It then instructed me to run TurboTax in Administrator mode.

In many years of using TurboTax and its predecessors, I have never encountered this message, or any error at all.

I am always suspicious when a program wants administrative privileges.

Is this normal and has anyone encountered this?

Thanks

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

How do I get to the administration section

TurboTaxSusan · ‎February 21, 2025

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.
