5695 Shows error ***AFTER*** filing

Been almost 4 days since I filed with TT "return checker" showing NO ERRORS and yet  IRS not yet accepting return.   So I go back into TT, do updates,  and now see an "exclamation mark" next to the 5695 marking an error.  Obviously, something changed AFTER they (TT) said the form was ready to file and I filed

 

The error from TT  "checker" was:  "Line 21C, Address Needed."   Really???   How long is that going to delay me??  Thanks TT.

    Just spent 50 minutes online with their "support" and they simply don't have a clue.  They keep telling me I have to wait until it is rejected.  It should been rejected within 24-48hrs.   I think I am just going to use another service (free online taxes of some sort) and refile.  If TT ever goes through it will just get rejected as a duplicate.   20+ years of using TT and this is the first issue I have had with them.  Fortunately, my taxes are VERY simple.

    Unfortunately, while your local copy of Turbotax knows there is an error, you won't be able to fix the problem until the return is rejected by the IRS and sent back for correction.  

     

    I think it is possible that you could prepare and file a new return (if we assume that form 5695 is now fixed).  If using Turbotax installed on your own computer, this is free.  The second might go through and when the first is rejected, you ignore it.  However, if using Turbotax online, you would probably have to pay a second time, and I don't know if you can get a refund.
