my return was rejected with a 8960 hold reject code.  When I follow the link to fix my return it takes me straight to e-filing again.  What is the code and how can I fix the return

I just got off the phone with TT.  The guy told me NOT to re-file until they fix the issue.  It looks like a programing issue on their side.  So DO NOT re-file until they notify us of the issue been fixed.

I called TT, and they told me it is a "known issue" and I should just go to the fix page, and refile and that it should go through with the second submission. I asked her if anyone who has done that has had their return accepted, and she said yet <insert side-eye> ....we will see if it works!
