Some customers are experiencing issues when trying to file but are looped back instead of being able to proceed and file.     We are currently investigating this issue.    We will notify you once the program is updated.

It depends on the menu path you pursue.  Here is how to report the 1098 -T into the program.   Click on the Federal tab in the left-hand sidebar. Along the top of the main screen, click on Deductions & Credits. Scroll down to the section titled Education. You may need to click "See all tax breaks" or "Show more" to reveal it. Click Start (or Revisit) next to Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T). You will likely see a screen asking, "Did you get a 1098-T?" or "Do you want to enter your education expenses?" Select yes. If you follow those steps and still see the ESA/QTP warning without an option to enter anything, TurboTax has marked that section as complete with a zero value. To reset it:   Go to the Tax Tools > Tools menu on the left. Select Delete a form. Look for Form 1098-T or Education Tuition Worksheet. Delete it. 5. Now, go back to the Deductions & Credits > Education path. It will treat you like a "new" user for that section and finally open the data entry boxes. Once this is cleared, go back to the first set of steps I have outlined above to enter the 1098-T.

No 1099 B. This was inherited real estate that was split between four siblings.  I am reporting 25% of the sale proceeds and sale expenses.  But I think I figured it out.  The code "E" has to do with the adjustments and not the transaction type  correct?

You can file your taxes free with TurboTax Free Edition if you have a simple 1040 Form without any schedules except for Earned Income Credit, Child Tax Credit and Student Loan interest.   Here’s the link to Start TurboTax for free.

There is another post string specific to the Error 54 problem this year and so far Turbotax has only given suggestions that do not work.  There are a lot of us in the same boat and not able to efile our 1041s.   Hopefully enough people will post to get Turbotax's attention (hint, hint...) and they will fix this before we all need to go buy a different product to efile our returns.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/turbotax-business-validation-error-code-54-so-we-cannot-efile/00/3748119
