Sounds like something got stuck. You can try these things:   Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu. Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website. Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms. Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit." Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.   Most TurboTax errors happen because the browser is trying to use an old "session" from a previous visit. By clearing the cache or using Incognito mode, you force the browser to establish a brand-new, secure connection with the Intuit servers.

@amvb005 it sounds like you're using the software for turbotax. So it might have had an early update pushed for the 1040X.  Trying to use the website to process the return shows that it's unavailable. Looking again at https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability it shows the 1040X will be available tomorrow on 02/28

1 Yes, you can take a tier 3 deduction prorated. Mi has an either/or system. Here are the MI retirement instructions for your age. 2. You do need to get back to that question and make sure standard deduction is selected for your pension since you can't claim pension and tier 3. Possible options: If you can delete MI and start again, that would alleviate the issue. Otherwise, stepping through the state again. Finally, you may need to remove the 1099-R in federal go through the MI state section. Close return and log out. Then add it back in federal and try MI with a fresh start.

One point of clarification. I did not purchase the stock originally. It was a Restricted Stock Award granted to me by the parent company of the company for which I am employed. I have never gotten a w-2 from the parent company, only from one of the companies under it's umbrella.   Does this make a difference in how it should be reported? Thanks

Based on your screenshot, it appears that you have short term transactions which are sales that have been held one year or less.  If you're unsure as to when you acquired the ETF shares, you could try just entering a date that is less than one year before the sale date to clear this error.  Doing so will not affect your tax situation.   To enter the date, go back to the Personal tab and Personal Income.  Select Update for Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other.  Click Review to review your crypto entries and enter a date acquired less than one year before the sale date for the short term transactions.   If you also have long term transactions that aren't pictured, the acquisition date would then be over a year before the sale date.
