MY Solution was as simple as changing my Default Browser.......
I just ran into this Failed-Verification error for the first time - Federal & State of California - Individual returns - no business schedules. After trying several suggestions in this thread - I still hit the error at the time I tried to e-file the returns.
1) I checked the FORM pages and there were no red ! - identifying any errors
2) Double checked employer ID & State/Local ID #s from the W-2s - all good there
3) I updated Turbo Tax (again) - nothing more there
Still I got the errors each time.....
so then....
1) I unmarked the "e-file state return" and marked to e-file later
2) After that I was able to e-file the Federal - no problem - but Not the State
3) After checking that all the Drivers License info was correct (as required by CA) - it still failed
Just shy of deleting all the state info & starting over -
I simply changed BROWSERS from Google Chrome to Edge and tried one more time - SUCCESS !!!!
Hope others have success with trying the Browser switch first and save themselves some time!!
