same here -- it took 4 attempts (4th attempt I changed the AGI to 0, that didn't work either) to get me searching for a better solution than having to mail mine in. my husband passed away Dec 5. I tried the FreeTaxUSA that you used & recommended and in LESS THAN 20 MINUTES, the IRS had accepted my federal return!! thank you for posting your experience, dianalarose, it was very helpful to me.
