Mine was rejected because of the EIN on W2Gs. Thirteen of them, and yes they are all exactly as they are printed on the W2G, and it's the same number I've typed in over the years. Mailing the return in will take forever to get my refund, and is also a problem because I have a couple of back returns to file.

The problem is with Turbo Tax. It's actually the way they have formatted the field for input with an imbedded dash after the first 2 characters. When entering the EIN number on a W2-G, type in the first 2 numbers and the dash will appear automatically. Backspace and delete to the end of the 2 numeric characters and add your own dash, and than type in the rest of the EIN number. I got my federal return rejected twice and when entering the EIN this way, I got it accepted. Unfortunately, I had 23 W2-G that I had to reenter to discover this solution. Turbo Tax, if you monitor this site, please correct.
