After trying multiple times to download and install Turbo Tax, Malwarebytes Premium quaranteed the software. I decided to ignore the Mojave Firewall warning in the first place, and just go about installing Turbo Tax, but Malwarebytes just deleted it.
Why was was Mojave's Firewall Overuled by Malwarebytes?
MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.14
Why did it delete it?
As the link Keith posted stated, it may have been a false positive. You can always ask the folks at Malwarebytes.
Does the Mojave Firewall Confuse itself with Malwarebytes?
The firewall and Malwarebytes have nothing to do with each other.
You can either restore the deleted app from a Time Machine backup, or download and install it again.
For questions regarding non-Apple products contact their respective developers: Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support.
I don't believe the macOS application firewall is relevant, but read OS X: About the application firewall - Apple Support.
I restored my Mac.
TurboTax is on a Virtual Machine now.
So, all is good.
I'm told by someone that they heard Leo Laporte mentioning this.
Ugh!
Turbo Tax is returned, but being a download, it took a bit to get it returned. I went through the retailer.
Should I keep Malwarebytes Premium installed for the rest of the time I have left (<6 months)?
TIME MACHINE WAS USED PRIOR TO THIS INSTALLATION, SO I HAVE RESTORED MY MAC, AND I SHOULD BE ALL SET!
Malwarebytes is the only security software I have installed. Firewall is not a concern? Security software thinks one is better than the other, over rules the other one(s) and vise versa, and then all this junk happens! Because I’d be chasing bugs in this system ever since I installed it, I'm restoring the Mac once more.
Malwarebytes’ll go back on it, as there were no issues with using it on my Mac prior to installing TurboTax. :)
Which version of TurboTax did you purchase?
And you did purchase it, right?
I had no problems.

I had to take a few minutes to return the software. Here is my version of Malwarebytes:
