I got the same error. I fixed it but haven't sent it again. I was confussed because On the error message from TurboTax, it says to SEND IT BEFORE JANUARY 30, and on the link, it say DO NOT FILE UNTIL AFTER JANUARY 30.

I got an email stating a critical error after the return was accepted by the IRS.  I tried to follow the directions. I went back online - it still shows as accepted and doesn't allow me to access my return.  Is this normal. Or was the email a scam?

Yes! Had the same issue. I called TT and they got me on with a specialist and we walked thru my taxes again. She said it should be fine to go ahead and submit but I didn’t. I dont know what to do!!

You may want to check the information for your W2 in TurboTax.  To review, follow these steps:

  1. Select Wages & Income,
  2. Select Pick up where you left off,
  3. Select Edit to the right of your W-2.
  4. Review the entries against your W-2 to make sure they are correct.

You might have to delete the W-2 form and renter the information manually.
