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

Reject 8960_hold: EFE messaging states the following: Your tax return is on hold pending a product update expected to be released by March 28th. Please check again for updates..
It will be fixed tomorrow

I just got federal rejected with the same 8960_Hold code too, looks like something is screwed up with Turbotax

I called TT and they updated that this is a known issues and they are working on fixing it.

I was told it will be fixed within an hour after spending over 30 min on the phone with customer service. They clearly aren't giving their agents all the info they need to help their customers, not her fault but that was very frustrating at 11 pm.

I don't know if this is TT not transmitting the 8690, my 2018 PDF shows that it was filled and sent. Dunno if the IRS is screwed up or TT omitted the form, regardless I would like to know when to refile
