It's possible that the file got corrupted with the permissions set to Read Only or it is trying to save the file in a Read Only location. I'm not sure where the keychain password comes in. The most likely reason is that permission has not been given to save the file in the location it is trying to save it to. TurboTax usually asked permission to save files in your Documents Folder. You can check that permission by going to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Files and Folders. Find TurboTax in the list and click on the disclosure triangle to reveal the permission to allow saving to the Documents Folder. Make sure it is turned on.
Other than that, make sure to save in the Documents folder. You can also save it in a folder inside the Documents folder.

Thanks, it worked. The only addition is that I needed to go to Full Disk Acces and there I found the folder for TurboTax. After inputting my new "keychain password," I was able to save my files in TurboTax. Again, thanks.

you can open the Keychain app and it will show you passwords that have been assigned to it. Why is Keychain not offering it when you need to access a site?
