This error is due to something being marked as 'estimated' in your return.  To correct this switch to FORMS mode, go down to the list of Forms in My Return and look for a  red exclamation mark.  The number that is causing the problem will be in red. Right click the  number and select Cancel Override.        

We haven't been given an estimated date for the update release on Form 3468. As the filing deadline approaches, you have two options: Request an extension of time to file and pay any taxes that you expect will be due. Install TurboTax Desktop (any version) and download your current TurboTax return. Note that you won't be able to reverse this process - you will need to e-file your return using the desktop software.   Additional Information: How do I file an IRS extension (Form 4868)? How do I switch from TurboTax Online to the TurboTax software? @andyoak  @ludaxkris 

Not sure.   A pension is a funded retirement plan generating an income.   An annuity is a private insurance product that an individual purchases to generate income payments.   Pensions and annuities are both reported in boxes 5a and 5b of the IRS form 1040 income tax return.   Pensions and annuites are both reported on IRS form 1099-R.  TurboTax uses the same entry process for pensions and annuities.   In TurboTax Online, follow these steps to report IRS form 1099-R:    Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal. Down the left side of the screen, click on Wages & income. Scroll down to Retirement Plans Social Security.  Click the down arrow to the right. Click Start / Revisit to the right of IRA 401K Pension Plan Withdrawals.

@bhmaroon ,  Namaste ji Now I understand what you have done -- used the NRE account as a bridge to transfer / make  progress payments to the builder/promoter for the property. In such a case, it is my belief that you would meet the  FBAR  threshold requirement ( using the maximum value at any point of US$72K ). Please file the form 114 as described above in my earlier response. I do not believe that you need to file form 8938   ( absent your having / owning any other Specified foreign financial Asset  -- liquid/semi-liquid/trusts etc. ) on the basis of the NRE account that you own.  Note that under the FATCA regs., the US treasury and the Indian Financial institutions share data anyways.  If there is more help you need please feel welcome to add to this thread or PM me ( just NO PII -- Personally Identifiable Information) if you wish privacy  from the public eye.   Namaste ji pk

I only do returns for 4 others (family members) and myself. I just e-filed my third federal and first Ohio state return after purchasing the Ohio package. Beforehand I helped two retired couples who printed their state returns. The third (my kid's family) just went in. Turbotax said I've reached the limit. This is obviously a TurboTax error, as we have not filed any other federal returns. We have not e-filed previously in error, nor have we e-filed with an error in our return. This is a breach of contract and I'm sure it's not deliberate but someone's error.
