Your software allowed me to file the other day on Feb 26th '26 but was rejected with the error shown above. Why would your software (TurboTax) allow me to file if the form is known not to be working yet?!

Update 2026-02-28:
I got on the phone with a TT expert and they confirmed this is a TT issue with form 5695 that will be fixed by the March 6th date advertised. I personally will be waiting till after the March 6 and calling to confirm fixed before resubmitting.

Got on the phone again with a TT expert and the issue is still not resolved as of this update. I've been attached to the incident they have for this form and will be notified when fixed.
Update 2026-03-07 11:00 ET:
Got on the phone again with a TT expert and the issue is still not resolved as of this morning on March 7th. I ask the support person if they can provide an ETA (as the March 6th advertised date has since passed) and they were not able to provide one.
A message to TT management: If you are unable or unwilling to provide an update on WHEN this will be fixed, I have no choice but to switch and recommend folks switch to FreeTaxUSA. - Sincerely a TurboTax user since 2006.
