Try logging out, closing out your browser, and coming back in. If that doesn't work I will recommend you clear your cache and cookies!

Can you try using a different browser? For example if you are on Internet Explorer, can you switch to Google Chrome?

I'm having the same problem.  I am currently waiting 60 minutes to see if "something" frees up the process at Intuit.  Tech support was polite, but we ran the the gambit of suggestions with no help or understanding of just want the problem truly is.  I've used Turbo Tax for years, but I guess all good things come to an end.  We will see in 60.

To clarify, just one quick question.  Did you clear your cache, cookies, and browsing history from your browser?

Yes I cleared cache, restarted, tried a different browser, waited over 60 minutes as instructed by tech support.  Both browsers Safari and Chrome failed with the same error.

I’ve tried everything, multiple machines, my smartphone, clearing cookies/cache, customer service and tech support.  It’s only happening when I select pay by credit card which makes me think their third party processor is having an issue.  Funny, they processed my payment for turbotax with no problem.  What’s really frustrating is that Turbotax has been so unhelpful and unforthcoming.

Are you using TurboTax Online or the CD/Download version?

If you are using TurboTax Online, please try logging completely out of the TurboTax website, then clear your browser's cache and delete cookies. A full or corrupted cache can keep TurboTax from functioning properly. If that doesn't work, try a different browser.

If you are using TurboTax Desktop, please provide the state you are filing in and the form you are completing when you get the error message.

Hello.

I had the same problem. 

This worked for me, I really hope it works for you as I was stuck for many hours. 

1. disable any pop-up blockers.

2. Clear your 'cache' and your 'cookies'.

3. Log out of turbo tax, then Log back IN using a different browser.  I was using Mozilla /

Firefox and was stuck for many hours.  Turbo tax is the only thing that ever didn't work with it.

So I signed back into turbo tax with Internet explorer and then it all worked. 

Best of luck to you.
