Thanks Docheartless1 for confirming that shortening the payer name solved the issue for you. In my case it was the same error message but the error was generated because on one of my 1099-Div there were 0.00s in various boxes and TT doesn't accept that. TT wants the boxes left blank. Besides giving a totally wrong error message (which TT needs to fix) I would like to point out that when TT imports the data from a financial institution, TT ALLOWS the name to be too long when it is imported (instead of automatically shortening it), AND it only throws an error way later when your getting ready to e-file. The same thing with the 0.00s. They were put into the boxes by the import not by me, but again TT allows the import to enters 0.00s instead of making the boxes blank. And again it doesn't throw the error until much later in the process. TT really needs to clean up their sloppy programming.
