I am sorry... have used Turbo Tax for 20 years or so and have had this SAME issue the last two years.
I logged on, (use PC version), I got the latest updates and proceeded to do my taxes.
I spent 40 years designing highly complex IT systems. I know how situations should be handled.
And, this watermark is NOT the answer.
If any of the forms is incomplete or not updated, the software should issue an informative message stating exactly that, including the watermark explanation.
If printing prior to submitting would produce the watermark, that notice should pop up. AND, if printed anyway, and the taxes filed afterwards, the watermark should go away.
NONE of the so-called explanations are valid. The software has a bug in it and it needs to be addressed, NOW! Notice should be presented upon each login of any issues present that would create confusion and frustration. I am not sure how INTUIT handles Quality Control, but it is lacking. Seems to me that they just don't care enough to put a little into correcting what is evidently a simple software problem that causes many to become frustrated and question the validity of using Turbo Tax!
