So update, I did call the IRS yesterday (didn't have time to post because of Grad School, lol). The nice man I spoke to said everything on their end has been finalized and submitted, so he suspects it to be an internal software issue with TT.
I've already discussed all of this here with my father, and while he has urged me to simply wait, I am going to give this situation just one more week and if I can't submit my taxes on here by then, then I will switch to Tax Slayer, as suggested.
