It's 2/17 and I'm still getting this error message. SUPER frustrating as I file early every year and often have my refund by now. When will we have an update?

I am using TurboTax Premier. I have ten countries which withheld taxes on dividends. I am trying to get the tax credit. I am having trouble filling out the questionnaire. 1) At the page titled "Where Did You Receive Dividend Income From?", it states to select all countries to which I have paid taxes. I then select all ten countries and click "continue". 2) At the page titled "Income from Foreign Countries" it lists the ten countries. I select the first country and click "report income". 3) At the page titled "Report Foreign Tax Paid to <country>" I select the appropriate 1099s and click "continue". 4) At the page titled "Foreign-Source Income" I enter the correct amount and click "continue". 5) At the page titled "Reporting Foreign Taxes Paid" it states "You have completed reporting all copies of Form 1099-DIV to a country". "Do you want to review your entries?" "Note: If you answer 'yes' then you must repeat the process and report all copies of 1099-DIV again". If I click on "no" it goes to a page titled "Simplified Limitation Election for AMT". The page states "We've reported your interest, dividends, and Schedule K-1 from each country." It goes on to state other things but it acts as if I am complete when I have only filled out one country. If I click on "yes" it goes back to the page titled "Where Did You Receive Dividend Income From"? All the countries that I entered previously are gone except the first country which I have reported income. I enter the second country (again), click "continue" and go to the page titled "Income from Foreign Countries". I select the second country and click "Report Income". I go to the page titled "Report Foreign Tax Paid to <country>" I select the appropriate 1099s and click "continue". I go to the page titled "Foreign-Source Income" I enter the correct amount and click "continue". I go to the page titled "Reporting Foreign Taxes Paid" it states "You have completed reporting all copies of Form 1099-DIV to a country". "Do you want to review your entries?" "Note: If you answer 'yes' then you must repeat the process and report all copies of 1099-DIV again". I click on "yes". I go back to the page titled "Where Did You Receive Dividend Income From"? The first country that I entered previously is gone and only the second country which I have reported income is left. So no matter whether I enter "yes" or "no" in Step 5 above the program doesn't work. Has anyone been successful with this?

The rules for qualifying overtime will be provided in the link below.

You do not need to get a form in the mail to submit, you just have to include this form in your return. Your return was rejected because the e-File database indicates the taxpayer must file Form 8862 to claim Earned Income Credit after disallowance.
You will need to go back to your return and add this form.
Open your return :
TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to the Form 8862 screen under Deductions & Credits
TurboTax Desktop: Search for Form 8862 and select the Jump to link or,
Go to Federal Taxes.
Go to Deductions & Credits.
If asked, How do you want to enter...?, select I'll choose what I work on.
Under You and Your Family, select Start or Update next to Earned Income Credit (EIC).
You'll come to the Earned Income Credit section. Select Continue.
Answer the questions. When you get to, Do any of these uncommon situations apply? check the box that says, I got a notice from the IRS saying that Form 8862 is required for the Earned Income Tax Credit.
Select Continue and then Done.
On the Since you got an IRS notice, we need to check on a few things screen, select No, none of these apply and I need to fill out the 8862 form.
Select Continue.
Answer the remaining questions.

DID YOU E-FILE?
Did you e-file? Did you go through all three steps of the FILE section and click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”
When you e-file your return you will get two emails from TurboTax. The first one will say your return has been transmitted; the second one will tell you the IRS has accepted or rejected your federal e-file. If you filed a state return, there will be a third email (usually a day or two later) that tells you if the state e-file was accepted or rejected.
Check your e-file status:
https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/
What does it say in your account? Does it show that the return was accepted? Or does it say something else---like "rejected," "printed," or "ready to mail?”
If you discover or realize that your e-file was rejected, or just never filed, you will need to print it, sign and date it in ink, and file it by mail now, since e-filing is closed for returns for tax year 2024.
If it was accepted:
You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

There's a glitch with the system, IDK why thy aren't just posting that!! I called It's not anything we can do on our end. It is technically available, it's just not showing it. So when you enter the information and then go back to the main page, it shows not started. But it is. It's complete. As long as all the data saves you should be good. That was what happened to me anyway. I would call they even escalated me to a manager without me having to ask. They were really nice about it.
