My Federal tax return filed electronically via TurboTax has been rejected twice now with the error code F1040-266-01. I have read instructions relating to this error and checked the math several times and it is correct, but keep being rejected. How can I fix this?
Do you have a Form 2555 in your return? There was a unusual cluster of users getting that F1040-266-01 error on last Thursday night/early Friday. I reported it to TurboTax and never heard anything back, likely because that was the same day they moved everything to this new forum.
I'll see if I can give a Moderator a nudge today and will report back here if I hear something.
If you wish, you can phone TurboTax Support today.
Hours are 5AM-5PM Pacific (8AM-8PM Eastern) Monday-Friday.
FAQ: What is the TurboTax phone number?
yes, I have a from 2555 in my return and the error is related to that.
If you have it, can you please post the entire verbiage of the error message. I don't have a copy of it. Thanks.
F1040-266-01 - If in [OtherIncomeTypeStatement] present in the return, 'OtherIncomeLitCd' has the value "FORM 2555", then the sum of all corresponding 'OtherIncomeAmt' must be equal to the [ sum of all Forms 2555, Line 45 'TotalIncomeExclusionAmt' ] multiplied by negative 1 (i.e., multiply by minus 1)
I am getting the same error. I have checked and double checked the supposed math and it is all clear. I am not sure how to solve this as well.
I resubmitted again now and it was accepted , go figure
good luck !!!!
i got this error too after submitting Friday morning with form 2555. Resubmitting now, let's see if it has been resolved.
Third time lucky! I e-filed once again (third time) and it worked. Problem fixed, i guess.

Great! A Moderator reported today that it was supposed to have been fixed this last weekend.
Yes, thank you - I refiled and it was accepted roughly an hour later.
I am getting the same error. I filed 4 times but no luck yet. Who can help?

my amount in Form 1040 is different from Line 45 of Form 2555, so maybe that's why it is not accepting, I am not sure. this is the first time I am doing form 2555
anyone else still having this issue? is it a problem with my tax numbers or is it something to do with turbotax technical - not sure how to address?
This is a new issue that will probably be corrected next week after the holiday ... call TT support to see what/when ...
