Using Turbotax 2025 Premier

I've been attempting to transmit my return for the past few hours and am getting the following error:

"We're experiencing Internet transmission problems. Your transmission didn't go through. Intuit's Electronic Filing Center did not receive your return(s)."

Problem is not with my internet connection since I can leave this message on your site. All my other apps work fine. Running Win11. Turbotax has been updated to latest available download.

How can I fix this and transmit my return?

I would like to take a deeper look at this. However, I need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:

TurboTax Online:

Sign into your online account.
Locate the Tax Tools on the left-hand side of the screen.
A drop-down will appear. Select Tools
On the pop-up screen, click on “Share my file with agent.”
This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us.
Please provide the Token Number that was generated in the response.

TurboTax Desktop/Download Versions:

Open your return.
Click the Online tab in the black bar across the top of TurboTax and select “Send Tax File to Agent” *
This will generate a message that a diagnostic copy will be created. Click on OK and the tax file will be sanitized and transmitted to us.
Please provide the Token Number (including the dash) that was generated in the response.

*(If using a MAC, go to the menu at the top of the screen, select Help, then, “Send Tax File to Agent”)

"Error 2" I received the same error over multiple days, on multiple returns, with TT closures, updates and re-checking it and my forms for errors over and over again, with nothing helping. I also checked for virus and firewalls or other system processes blocking it but nothing was flagged. I finally closed all other browsers and programs (Not virus and other protection though.), and with only TT running tried and succeeded with the e-filing at that point.
