I went through this very process; the $600 remained but the return still would not transmit. Error reads:
"The Intuit Electronic Filing System is having difficulty recognizing the data in the return you are sending. Make sure your Turbo Tax program is up-to-date: Go to the Online menu and select Check for Updates. If you still can't transmit your return, go to www.support.turbotax.com for a solution or workaround. In some cases, you may need to file this return by mail. -FAILED_VALIDATION - There is an update available for you version of Turbo Tax. Before you can file electronically you'll need to get this update. To do this, go to the online menu and select Check for Updates." Spent 60 minutes with Turbo Tax Help on the phone before they just dropped my call. I have checked for updates about 10 time and each time am told my software is up to date. I even ran a brand new return for which I was charged another $20 for the state e-file (same result) This is obviously a software issue that Turbo Tax needs to fix NOW!
