I believe this is a shabby/defective codes by the Turbotax programmer. The software reports back to the server to authenticate the licensed copy. I notice the error came up during the busiest tax time, because the server is overloaded and unable to authenticate. It does not happen during the month of May-June, since the server was free and able to authenticate properly. So I got my tax done, printed in June, and mailed out at the beginning of July. In the month of April, the original tax due date, I tried my method, of disconnected from the internet. That seemed to work, since the later on updated, the trick has failed. Now I'm unable to do the it again. I would try it during the non-peaked time, or call for the tech support, which is probably useless. Sad.
I'm not in any shape or form working for Intuit, just wanted to help out. It is sad that greed has taken over the once very nice software.
