    The state went through fine. But when Itried to  the federal return, it keeps telling me I need to update Proseries, which I did. I even did it 2 more times to make sure and it says that it is up to date but I keep getting the same response when I try to eifle the 2018 Federal return.

    There was a yellow banner alert recently in 2018 that explained this issue and how to fix it. 

    Top menu bar   Information > View Alerts in case you closed the alert without reading it.

    Use one of these 2 methods to refresh updates for 2018.
