TT Desktop freezes trying to save after I click pay with credit card

Hello,

 

When I get to the screen to pay for filing. It freezes after I click save before payment. It keeps spinning. Can someone please help. I've never had this issue before.

 

Thank you.

If you are using desktop software you may need to do a manual update. Try clearing your Cache and Cookies and then try this link instructions.  Clearing cache and cookies is key because payments connect to the internet.

 

If you are using the online software, Clear Cache and Cookies

I am using the desktop version and I've updated manually. I also have done the auto update. Still getting the error message.

Since you are using a Desktop version, please see this help article for troubleshooting steps for Windows products for Desktop. Sometimes just logging out, restarting your devices, and logging back in helps. Some users have found that restarting their wi-fi connection resolved this issue.

 

If this issue occurs when you are trying to enter your billing address, check to see if the address you are using matches the Post Office designation for the address and zip code for the location. You can check zip codes at this Post Office webpage

 

If you are paying for filing your state return, and you are using a Windows device, try going to Settings, System, Displays and adjusting the scale or resolution. First try the scaling setting.  In your Windows Settings, if you have scaling set to a higher value than the normal 100%, try changing it back to 100%. 

 

If lowering the scaling to 100% didn't help, then it may be screen resolution.  Try a lower screen resolution such as 800x600.  You can change your settings again later if needed.


If you are using a Mac, the button to complete the payment may be outside the viewable screen. Connecting to a larger monitor can resolve the issue.

Thank you for the suggestions, but neither suggestion worked. I was already scaled to 100% and moving the resolution didn't work either.  I appreciate it.

I've been using TT since around 2000. I haven't had this issue before and when I called for support it was not a good experience. This has been beyond frustrating.  I will be switching to H&R next year.

One more suggestion: try a different browser when you are going to make a payment. Some users have reported success when switching to Chrome or Edge.

 

If none of the troubleshooting steps has worked, see this help article for instructions on how to contact TurboTax customer support depending on which product you are using. In addition to troubleshooting your product, they can assist with making payments.

I called support and they didn't help at all. In fact they put me on hold then ended up hanging up on me. I don't want to go through that again. I'll pay the fee from my refund, which I don't want to do. I'm going with H&R Block next year. Sorry TT we had a nice 10 -15 year run.

Also tried a different browser, that didn't work either.

 

I'm using the desktop version (FYI).
