I only wish they would come out with the Canadian version
December 16, 2021 5:03 pm
Just like last year does it not work. Intuit has figured out how to stop it. Don’t waste your time.
December 21, 2020 2:31 pm
Useless. Calls to verify even was the correct code
December 23, 2020 8:19 pm
after installing updates, it asks for activation code.
December 23, 2020 8:21 pm
useless, after installing updates, it asks for activation code.
December 31, 2020 11:48 am
Doesn’t work, able to install, followed terminal settings ect.. still asking for TurboTax activation code
January 18, 2021 1:02 am
We’re all in the same bucket! There must be something missing. It worked last year. Is there a way to contact uploader?
January 22, 2021 4:52 pm
it doesnt work. Still ask for activation code.
January 24, 2021 6:44 pm
wants code
January 24, 2021 8:03 pm
This actually works! The problem is – The TurboTax posted an update after uploader created the patch. Without new patch you won’t be able to file your taxes, because it’ll force you to update, then after restart, it won’t open at all. Lets hope this message gets to uploader so he/she can create new patch. You’ll only be able to print and file for now, but w/o updates, you won’t get maximized return.
January 25, 2021 6:48 pm
How did you open the file on a Mac?? I tried too change to DMG and nothing.
January 25, 2021 8:09 pm
How do you get to file and print for now? How do you bypass after update?
January 28, 2021 11:59 pm
Don’t change .DMG, use The Unarchiver to unzip, you’ll get a .DMG to mount. Disconnect from internet, then install and patch. It’ll prompt you to update, just close. If you take update it won’t work anymore. Lets just hope uploader comes with updated patch soon.
January 29, 2021 3:35 am
It doesn’t work now. Gives me an error message when I try to open it. Gotta wait for an update I guess :/
January 29, 2021 6:55 pm
I got it open and it updated… had no choice…. but its still asking for the activation code. HELP!!
January 30, 2021 11:04 pm
It works for me….. Let it update. Then restart it. NO INTERNET. Click PK when it says there’s no connection. It will still be open. Then click on the TT Icon and it should just open. Just did my taxes. Let me know if this works for you guys!!
January 30, 2021 11:11 pm
Oh wait Im sorry. Forgot to mention I also did this… Patch this in Terminal. I used H&B 2020 so I just copied and pasted and works perfectly EVEN after the update. This was located in Notes section (K) Folder.
Open the unpatched app once, then quit it. Run this command (one single long line) in Terminal–adjust the path as necessary for your edition of TT.
printf ‘\x31\xc0\x0f\x1f\x44\x00\x00’ | dd seek=$((0x30d10)) conv=notrunc bs=1 of=”/Applications/TurboTax Home Business 2020.app/Contents/MacOS/TurboTax 2020″
If you get a warning saying the application is damaged, run:
xattr -cr “/Applications/TurboTax Home Business 2020.app”
Unlimited free state downloads
Overwrite ~/Library/Application Support/TurboTax Home & Business 2020/entitlements with the patched one.
Free state e-file patch for TurboTax 2020.r09.025 (all editions)
Bypasses the $25 state e-filing fee. Select “Charge My Credit Card” if prompted to pay and the app should skip right over that step.
Run this command (one single long line) in Terminal. Adjust the path as necessary for your edition of TT.
printf ‘\xb0\x01\x90’ | dd seek=$((0x39a213)) conv=notrunc bs=1 of=”/Applications/TurboTax Home Business 2020.app/Contents/MacOS/TurboTax 2020″
January 31, 2021 5:52 pm
Keeps crushing on startup after update. JOE, please be speciffic at what point you disconnect from internet and at what point you apply patch. Thanks.
January 31, 2021 7:10 pm
I did the above and upon patching and starting the app again, TurboTax now wants to install the “lldb” developer tool and crashes. Wonder if they patched this in one of their newer updates…
February 1, 2021 5:05 am
looks like the current updates killed it. need another patch
February 2, 2021 1:17 am
has anyone done a virus scan of the files?
March 20, 2021 6:23 am
still useless
March 29, 2021 10:44 am
Seems like Intuit has instituted another check this year – now the e-file goes through their servers, and they check for the DRM compliant version before they allow you to e-file. Might have to mail in to do it free.
April 10, 2021 3:07 am
How did you get it to work Dubious? Please explain. Appreciate your help!!

@IntuitSpecialist
Thank you! Thank You!
April 22, 2021 6:01 pm
@Alco @IntuitSpecialist
Should we replace the seek value in the above instructions with the value you provided ? Is it for the Home and Business one ? Can you clarify ?
April 25, 2021 2:01 am
Just replace 0x30d10 with the update provided by @IntuitSpecialist above. Trust me it does work with TT H&B.
April 25, 2021 9:31 pm
@Alco
I updated TT H&B and replaced 0x30d10 with 0x317f0 and ran the command again. I restarted Turbotax and it asks me for the activation.
April 25, 2021 9:48 pm
@Alco
It doesnt seem to work for me. I updates TT H&B and ran the same command (after replacing 0x30d10 with 0x317F0). After i open TT H&B, it is asking me to activate TT
Can you paste the exact set of instructions and commands you ran so that I can try it again ?
Thanks !
April 23, 2021 1:50 am
This does not work @Intuit
April 25, 2021 2:02 am
Please see my comment/response. Work perfectly with TT H&B.
April 24, 2021 3:10 am
Has anyone gotten the solution from @IntuitSpecialist to work? If so, could you provide a few more instructions?
April 25, 2021 2:03 am
Yes, I have and it does work with TT H&B. Please see my comment/response.
April 25, 2021 6:51 pm
When I go to e-file, it won’t because the app isn’t updated. If I update the app, then it won’t let me open the app without connecting to the internet and then it asks for purchase verification.
April 25, 2021 8:09 pm
I have tried the following, but nothing works.
1. I used the original patch and did not update the app. I could open the app without wifi connected, do all of my taxes, but it would not let me e-file (wifi now turned on).
2. I used the new patch on the install from number 1, but it would not let me e-file.
3. I ran a clean install (deleting everything from the Library associated with the app) and just did the new patch. I did not update the app and it would not let me open the app with internet off and with internet on it wanted activation.
4. I ran a clean install (deleting everything from the Library associated with the app) and then updated the app. I quit the app and ran the new patch. It would not let me open the app with internet off and with internet on it wanted activation.
Could someone help with the correct procedure for making this patch work? Thank you.
April 25, 2021 9:51 pm
@Alco
It doesnt seem to work for me. I updated TT H&B and ran the commands again (after replacing 0x30d10 with 0x317f0). Once I start TT H&B, it asks me to activate TT.

v2020.r27.060
0x3B3DE3 – State
April 26, 2021 4:07 pm
Thank you @IntuitSpecialist. The new codes work as expected. Install, then run updates. Then quit and run patches. Then reopen and it works.
April 29, 2021 10:42 pm
New codes for the latest update? 0x319F0 was working but doesn’t work after the update today 4/29/21.
Thanks!
May 2, 2021 9:30 pm
@IntuitSpecialist could you get the code for the new updates? Thank you very much.
May 3, 2021 6:26 pm
No binary update for H&B. Version number has not changed after update. I do not check other versions.
May 8, 2021 4:56 pm
@IntuitSpecialist after update my version is 2020.r29.065. is there a code for that?
May 9, 2021 8:45 am
2020.r29.065
0x31A70
May 9, 2021 8:08 pm
Thanks a million IntuitSpecialist! it worked to patch 2020.r29.065
The code to bypass State e-filing fee seems not working anymore on 2020.r29.065
Do you happen to have it? (last one was v2020.r27.060 0x3B3DE3 – State)

@IntuitSpecialist thanks a million. After 2020.r29.065 the patch to bypass State e-filing fee does not work. Can you help?
May 10, 2021 12:11 am
I have tried everything in all the comments here, and this software will not work. I tried all three versions, and none can get past the first screen. It will not open unless you first update it (which requires the internet to be on), and when you do, it requires an activation key. It would be nice if someone provided detailed instructions that actually worked, or answered any of the questions from other posters having the same issues.
May 10, 2021 8:01 pm
@Alicia, it does work, it is just the thread got too long, the version you will download is an old one from Dec 15 2020 – Version 2020.r09.025. So first you need to patch that one to be able to get it working and update to the newer one. So first, download that one, then when it starts, it will ask you to register it. Then quit. Then patch it. The patch for the old one is: (notice you need to substitute blow the name of the variant you have, i.e. “TurboTax Premier 2020.app” may be some other version for you, like “Deluxe” or “H&B..” etc
printf ‘\x31\xc0\x0f\x1f\x44\x00\x00’ | dd seek=$((0x30d10)) conv=notrunc bs=1 of=”/Applications/TurboTax Premier 2020.app/Contents/MacOS/TurboTax 2020″
Once you do that, you will be able to do your taxes and progress thorough it. Eventually you will need to update to the latest version (i.e. that happens whenever you turn on your internet and the program detects there is an update available… also if you tried to eFile, it won’t work, because not the latest version…)
So you have no choice but to keep updating as long as Intuit keeps releasing new versions. For each new version, you will need to patch it again. The patch is always the same, but the “code/word” in the patch keeps changing.
For the last one as of today (you can always find the version if you right click on the app file inside the Applications folder) 2020.r29.065–> for that latest one, the “patch code” changed to ” 0x31A70″ as seen below (again you’ll need to match the name of the version to your version, i.e. “TurboTax Premier 2020.app” to whatever your name inside Applications folder… Then issue the patch:
printf ‘\x31\xc0\x0f\x1f\x44\x00\x00’ | dd seek=$((0x31A70)) conv=notrunc bs=1 of=”/Applications/TurboTax Premier 2020.app/Contents/MacOS/TurboTax 2020″
You’ll find now that you’re able to resume your taxes and eFile (it takes a while to open, spinning wheel…). Unfortunately the patch code for estate does not work in this new version so you’ll have to pay $25 to eFile state
May 18, 2021 2:25 am
Thank you! Great info regarding the latest update that is required!
May 11, 2021 5:00 am
Would greatly appreciate if someone could provide new state e-filing seek address.
May 12, 2021 3:39 am
2020.r29.065 State
0x3b3e63
May 28, 2021 11:11 am
@IntuitSpecialist it looks like another update was released. Could you please post the latest seek address for the app as well as the state? Thanks!
May 28, 2021 3:09 pm
It looks like there were another updates yesterday. Could you please post the DD Deek code for the latest updates? Thanks
October 14, 2021 4:25 am
Hi IntuitSpecialist,
Do you happen to have the latest seek code? There was an update that this code no longer works for. Thank you!!!
May 13, 2021 3:57 am
Thank you so much! @IntuitSpecialist
May 13, 2021 8:52 pm
This works if following of instructions of adding the patch.
May 28, 2021 11:13 am
There was another update released. Does anyone have the seek address? Thanks
June 4, 2021 10:14 am
The update today 2020.r33.066 has stopped mine from working. Any options @IntuitSpecialist
October 14, 2021 11:13 pm
It does NOT work. No matter what you do, it keeps asking for a Activation Code. Also, it says to “overwrite” the entitlements file; however, there is NO entitlements file to overwrite in your download
January 4, 2022 6:28 am
PAY FOR THE DAMN SOFTWARE!! jeez –
February 2, 2022 7:27 am
Where is 2021? Please upload someone?
