For the last 2 days, I had been in step 3 and when I try to e-file it says “Hmm, looks like we hit a slight snag in this session.” And it doesn’t let me file. I paid $450 to file online and it doesn’t work. 

I have found that some data not transferred correctly.   1) Interest on state and local obligations other than Delaware.  Comes in as a dollar value but the wrong dollar value.  Have checked the fed entry and it correct.  Have checked the DE form and the value is not correct.   I have removed the state return and gone through the transfer process afresh, reentering the data and the issue remains. I have calculated the amount for ONLY DE obligations (thinking I misunderstand the stepwise instruction) but that doesn't match either. I am unable to over write the amount on the PTI-RES form Section A, line 2, column B.   2) State tax refund was incorrect.  But after removing the state return, execute the transfer process, reentering the data (the error remained). Then I executed the state checking process and returned to the state refund section and the correct data was in place.   Any ideas on next steps???  I so hope it's an error on my part that can be easily addressed. 🙂 Thanks in advance for your help!

The safe harbor rule in tax terms allows taxpayers to avoid penalties for underpayment if they meet certain payment criteria, such as:   paying at least 90% of their current year's tax paying 100% (or 110% for high earners) of the previous year's tax liability It looks like I fall under the second criteria  (I paid  100% of my 2024 withholding thru my ex-employer and got a refund at tax time).   Just wondering why TurboTax assessed a  penalty fee  for tax year 2025?  Though I already instruct TurboTax to let IRS calculate the penalty fee as instructed by a Level 15 community member.
