Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@quattrocoupe @johnp317 @user17736315102 @SoCalGal40 @user17735890360   UPDATED for order of what to do......

unavailable due to unfinalized IRS forms (There are still forms the IRS has not finalized), non-supported tax situations (e.g., specific foreign income, complex forms), or software updates required, overrides you may have done, or errant characters that may have happened during a transfer from a 3rd party.  I DO NOT work for TT.
 
  • FIRST Turn off virus protection and VPN's as they seem to be blocking a lot of TT this year, which is NO Fault of TT.  Even Windows Defender is blocking a number of TT access. You can also look at recently blocked to just allow access.  Do this first, then even if you have tried following, do them again.
  • Manual Update: Within TurboTax, go to the "Online" menu and select "Check for Updates".
  • Reinstall: If the above fails, uninstall TurboTax and reinstall it using your download from the official TurboTax account.
  • Check Form Errors: Go to Forms Mode in TurboTax Desktop and check for red exclamation points, which indicate incomplete information.
  • REVIEW FORMS by Go to "REVIEW" tab to see if specific forms are listed as unavailable.

  • RUN SMARTCHECK

  • Try running Turbotax as Administrator if using desktop
  • All TurboTax and related files should be on your C drive not a thumb drive.
  • CHECK INTERNET/BROWSER: Clear cache/cookies, or try a different browser.

  • If all else fails, print and file by mail.
