call the IRS e-file Payment Services right away at 1-888-353-4537 (They're open 24/7). You may be penalized if your tax payment isn't received by the filing deadline, so don't delay. For problems with state tax payments, contact your state tax agency.

I recommend following these steps to manually update the program as well.  That may resolve the error and allow you to open the program and proceed with your return.  This link provides the minimum system requirements as well as any other specifications that also need to be met.  

To access your tax returns (current or prior year) you will sign into the TurboTax website with the user ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/   In TurboTax Online, follow these steps to print/view your return and all of the informational worksheets after you have filed:   Sign in to TurboTax Scroll down to Your Tax Returns & Documents Select 2023 and then Add a State (You aren't actually adding a State but this gets you back into the Print Center) From the left panel Select Tax Tools, scroll down a little and select Print Center Select Print, save or preview this year's return Select the 2023 Federal and/or State return box Choose to Include TurboTax and government worksheets Select View or Print Forms

You must have some income that it thinks is generated by a business.  Do you have any investment income?  Section 199A dividends can generate a business credit as can a K-1 form from an investment partnership.     @Janeen228 

Hello! Since I am entitled to file for an extension up to May 1, 2025, will TurboTax allow me to put "05/01/2025" on my payment with Form 4868 or will TurboTax erroneously calculate a late payment penalty and interest or should I enter 04/15/2025 instead of 05/01/2025 to get the correct calculations? I am skeptical about this "corner case" for filing my extension on May 1, 2025 and NOT having TurboTax calculate any penalty and interest for late payhment. TIA! 

It depends on what program you are using. See your options here: How do I file an IRS tax extension? - TurboTax Support - Intuit    This will extend the time you have to file your taxes until October 15th, 2025.     Also, you may have to do your state taxes: Do I need to file an extension for my personal state taxes?     Remember, an extension gives you more time to prepare your taxes, but it doesn't extend the time to pay your taxes.  If you have an indication that you will owe taxes, you should make the payment by the original due date of the tax return to avoid additional interest and penalties.   

Yes.  All taxable income is reported on form 1040.  These would be considered Section 1256 Contracts and Straddles.  To enter them in TurboTax you would select the following: Income Contracts and Straddles under Investment income
