Agree.  No.  No. No. No to how many ever questions.  The error message is very clear as to the reason (every time).  It may be a coding error or something else related to the installation, which is on the same machine as the past 10 years (I am the only user and person that knows the password).   Further the email address is only used by me and for very little else other than tax returns and has exactly 5 approved online returns (over five years).  I am an overseas filer, so that could be triggering something else in the checks (as an online return must provide various internet details).   The whole point of putting this out there was to make others aware that I ran into this in case others do as well.  I honestly did not expect any replies, but I agree with what responders have said.  Unfortunately, it does not change the result, and I am not going to battle it further this year.
