Entered the same bank routing number I have for the last 20 years. TurboTax says "Too Many Digits" when running Smart Check. Quit, updated, relaunched TurboTax. Re-entered 9 digit bank routing number, saved, quit, and reloaded. Same message. Taxes are tedious enough without running into this kind of fake error - what is the resolution?

    This issue is usually caused by hidden spaces or remaining data. To fix this, you should delete the number completely and then enter again all the digits manually.  Don't copy and paste. Make sure there are no extra spaces or special characters.
