This link seems to be the best form of technical support TurboTax offers and it states this ...
“Error Code 70001 when using TurboTax Desktop
This is a spontaneous connectivity issue that Typically resolves itself as long as your connection to TurboTax remains intact while the process you are working on completes.”
I Don’t know about you, but this is not helpful. Clearly my description of the problem was not read or understood... which is why programmers need to talk to users to correct programming glitches. Using a forum board to substitute for a proper live discussion just doesn’t work to drive all programming improvements or finding programming glitches.
The above Technical Support... is telling me ... be patient the problem will resolve itself and go away. Nope! Too many frustrating hours wasted installing, uninstalling, mining the web for answers, calling Intuit to listen to multiple menu options and never getting to a technical person (perhaps the technical support is offshore and neither understands or can communicate in English, just a guess). The problem did not resolve itself.
I will consider the matter closed. I resolved my problem with doing my taxes by deciding to move on. BUYER BEWARE.
