Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I also hit this issue with a misleading error that prevented e-file from processing.

Manually trimming the length of 1099 payer names is what it took to workaround the issue.

 

This is a simple bug to fix in the software.  I was quite startled that it remains an issue given the severity of the problem (complete blocking of e-file, lack of any good information in error message).
