I just talked with TurboTax rep, Mr Kalu. He has a 'team meeting' this afternoon and will bring this to his supervisor's attention. He has not heard anything about this issue with the form 8960 until now and tried researching but nothing came up, other than this community stating the IRS is expected to have it resolved by 2/5/23. It is on the IRS end, not ttax however it may take a few days after the IRS expected fix date to be updated on ttax. So we are supposed to wait to try to e-file again after 2/9/23.
Apparently there is NO WAY around the issue if you want to e-file. Apparently the only option is to wait for the fix to be applied to ttax and that date is approximately FEB 5 to FEB 9. I would have to agree with this since I've been on the phone more than once every day since 2/23/23 trying to get my e-file return accepted. Together, tt and I have deleted almost every schedule & form to attempt to get my return accepted. I do not have a 1099-nec on my tax return, however I am self-employed, which is most likely where the problem exists. I have multiple other types of 1099's. included on my return.
As far as only getting five attempts to e-file, no one can actually CONFIRM this is true with a statement from any professional service. This morning was my SIXTH attempt at filing my federal return and it was allowed, but the return was rejected. It was my FORTH attempt to file the AZ State return and that was obviously rejected because the state cannot be received until AFTER the federal return is accepted.
So just a suggestion, wait to file any state returns until after you have an ACCEPTED federal return, or you are wasting your time and attempts, if there truly is a limit.
