Seems like this is a recurring problem year after year in reading the posts. I'm doing my 2025 return early because me 1041 is straight forward. But get the dreaded error code 54 even after updating, reinstalling and updating again, turn off VPN and stopping all ad blockers. No success. I'm going to wait a couple more weeks then check for updates again. If that doesn't work, I'm going to snail mail the return.
