We at Intuit TurboTax want our users to be completely delighted with their experience using our products and services, and successful in their financial lives and businesses.    Once you file your return, as long as the settings to receive communication from Intuit don’t block it, you will see a pop-up message or receive an email with a survey asking you about your experience. We encourage you to leave your notes and comments there. “Voice of the Customer” notes and comments are read and acted upon.   If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you can also leave feedback at the Final Steps tab:     @mychoiceLiquor 

Since your return continues to be rejected, you've reached the e-file limit, so you now have to print your return and file by mail. If you owe taxes this year, then you should first file an extension by midnight in your time zone to avoid any penalties.  How do I file an IRS tax extension? How do I file an extension for my personal state taxes?

Thank you for your reply.  Yes, I imported all and each transaction from my brokerage account to form 8949 in TurboTax and filed it electronically. The TurboTax instructed me to mail the Form 8949 and Form 8453 to IRS, you mean I can still ignore the instruction from TurboTax?  Thank you again. 

You did not have enough withholding taken out of your paychecks each pay period.   You may want to give your employer an updated W-4 form and have more tax withheld.     The IRS levies underpayment penalties if you don't withhold or pay enough tax on income received during each quarter. Even if you paid your tax bill in full by the April deadline or are getting a refund, you may still get an underpayment penalty.

You only need to enter the earnings. Only the earnings are taxable and will be entered on line 1 of Form 5329. Therefore, you only need to enter the earnings that will go on line 2 of Form 5329 with exception code 21.

If you are reporting futures transactions they do not go on Form 8949 and Schedule D.  You don't enter them like you would stock and mutual fund transactions.  They are subject to different rules and reported in a different section.  To enter your Section 1256 Options in TurboTax Online, From the Tax Home:   Click on Income Scroll down to "Less Common Investments and Savings" Next to "Contracts and Straddles" select "Start" Answer "Yes" to "Any Straddles or Section 1256 Contracts?" On the next screen, it is highly unlikely that you need to make any elections, so just click "Continue" On the screen with "Contracts and Straddles", more than likely you only need to select Section 1256 contracts...  You may want to read the IRS instructions for Form 6781, Gains and Losses from Section 1256 Contracts and Straddles Select "I'll report the totals from each broker or account. Enter the information to report your your profits and losses from your Section 1256 Options transactions.  

Remember that an extension does not give you more time to pay.   You need to pay your tax due by April 15.   The extension only gives you more time to prepare and file your tax return forms.   https://turbotax.intuit.com/irs-tax-extensions/   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-extension/need-file-extension-personal-state-taxes/L32Mt8ZNv_US_en_US?uid=m9a3q808

I have filled out that the 1099k is for a personal item sale but there is no box to say tjat it was sold for a loss or no gain. Where can I find that. I did put the cost of the item on investment loss as another reply said to handle it that way but it won’t allow me to link them on a schedule d just a c and it keeps saying it is an error- it won’t let me double click the correct schedule to link them. And so it won’t let me file on line
