When trying to open or update your TurboTax software, you may encounter an error reading, “Could not connect to update site Error 42016: Unexpected content received.” This mainly happens when certain Windows registry keys have been deleted or due to missing .NET Framework to download the updates.

If your name does not match the Social Security Number on the tax forms, Turbotax will reject your tax return. Review and ensure the dependents’ full names and SSNs match the IRS records. If you are claiming a dependent return that has already been claimed, you will resolve it with the IRS.

Error 190 occurs when trying to open a TurboTax return but doesn’t have the state software that includes the returns. If you already have the state return software, try downloading the tax return from the website.

Not having enough space on your computer may hinder you when downloading the TurboTax update. You may also experience the sudden close of Updater when checking for updates. To address this, run the disk clean-up tool to delete unnecessary files and empty the Recycle Bin. Click on Check for Updates in TurboTax to restart the update process.
