Release Intuit TurboTax 2021 (US - Any Edition + Unltd States) with Manual Crack Instructions

[1]

Thanks for sharing! Appreciate your updates.

[14]

I just realized while it's easy to download free states, it's not free to file. It costs $25 to file in Kansas!!!!

---

Regarding my post #2,002, ultimately, it's this solution on page 1 that worked. It's ridiculous to pay that $20, when the refund is $30...Many thanks. I didn't know I would have to cut it this close to file. Also, if you live in California and miss the 10/15 deadline, because Turbotax says so, Just switch your computer's time zone to Hawaii and you will still have time to efile. Ridiculous

thanks for this. Ive been looking all over!! You are the best  :ricardo:

---

I choose "Edit Method C# I try to delete line 136 but would not compile.

---

Your the man, greatly appreciated for all your work on this, gonna try it out, many many thks

---

Anyone having problems with step 14 where you delete line 136, compile giving errors

Hey were you ever able to figure this out? I kept getting compile errors too

Had this issue last night and it was driving me nuts today. Tried again today, and got it working. I think it might have something to do with the fact that I did a similar process for the 2020 version last year? Not sure. Anyway, to fix, I went to File -> Close All. That should wipe the left pane. Then, simply follow the step-by-step instructions to the letter, and it worked for me (remember to run in admin).

Not sure what caused this, but yeah.

Thank YOU!!

Can we do manual crack on turbotax mac OS

[14]

I did buy turbotax 2024 Home & Business today and the instructions to crack the dlls are the same
Im using win 11 pro 23H2
I will post my revised instructions below, hope it helps

Instructions:
1. Download the archive and extract contents.
2. Install TT H&B 2024 from iso and get the latest updates during setup. When it restarts and asks for activation, close the window. Open the program from shortcut again, and when it asks for activation, close the window.
3. Download dnSpy-net###.zip from: https://github.com/dnSpy/dnSpy/releases
4. Extract dnSpy-net###.zip to a folder and run dnSpy.exe as administrator! (If you don't, it will not work)

The first major step is to make sure that we are picking the version of TT that we want (Home and Business). This is necessary since it will default to Basic otherwise.
5. In the dnSpy program, click on File -> Open. Navigate to "C:\Program Files \TurboTax\Individual 2024\36bit" and click on "Intuit.Ctg.Wte.Service.Interface.dll" and click Open
6. The file will open and be highlighted in the left pane. Click on the arrow next to the file name in the left pane to expand the item. A purple item will show, click on the arrow to expand the menu
7. Find the yellow item labeled "Intuit.Ctg.Wte.Service.ProductConfiguration" and click on it. A green item called "ProductConfigurationProperties" will show, right click on it and choose "Edit Class (C#)"
8.1. A window will open. You need to change two values in here. First, change LINE 14 to be: public string productSKU { get; set; } = VariantConst.EditionNames.HomeAndBusiness.ToString();
8.2. Second, change LINE 74 to be: public string baseSKU { get; set; } = VariantConst.EditionNames.HomeAndBusiness.ToString();
8.note: You can pick other versions of TT by changing the text in the two lines "HomeAndBusiness" to ONE of the following: "Basic" "Premier" "Deluxe" "HomeAndBusiness" "SmallBusiness"
9. Once you have set the two lines, at the bottom of the window, click "Compile" and the window will close
The second major step is to disable the activation request
10. In the dnSpy program, click on File -> Open. Navigate to "C:\Program Files (x86)\TurboTax\Individual 2021\32bit" and click on "Intuit.Ctg.Wte.UseCase.dll" and click Open
11. The file will open and be highlighted in the left pane. Click on the arrow next to the file name in the left pane to expand the item. A purple item will show, click on the arrow to expand the menu
12. Find the yellow item labeled "Intuit.Ctg.Wte.UseCase.Startup" and click on it. A green item called "LifeCycleUseCaseController" will show, click on it to expand.
13. A bunch of orange names will now show. Find the one called "PerformStartup( <stuff in here> ) : void" and right click on it. Click on the option that says "Edit Method (C#) ..."

14. A window with code will open. Within the code, delete line 148 which has the following: this.ShowActivationDialogWindow(splashWindow);
15. Once you delete the line, at the bottom of the window, click "Compile" and the window will close.
