The problem is not browser or PC related, although I wish it were as simple. Despite the original poster's description of the error as being one found within the information submitted--and my echoing of that description--I attempted all technical solutions, and none of them worked (although not surprisingly). Chrome, Firefox, etc will all have the same issue as it is not related to the browser but TurboTax flagging something for review that does not need review, and the stimulus registration tool not allowing the user to simply skip it.
The issue is because TurboTax stimulus registration tool does not supply a FEIN for the $1.00 interest it adds, and when attempting to either leave it blank or add 99-9999999 as the FEIN it will still reject the submission.
The error received is:
Your transmission didn't go through
We could not e-file your return for the following reason:
We're sorry, we have found errors in your return that prevent us from efiling. Please return to the "Review" tab to resolve these issues.
When going to review the submission, the user will find that the FEIN flags the interest form for review. The user does not appear to be able to skip past this, and it is the only issue flagged for review.
I do not have a reportable income and, as such, standard e-filing is not an option for me. Instead, I need to use the stimulus registration tool, but it is generating information errors, and checks have been announced to be issued possibly within the week. Please advise.
