I've just tried the online version and it is still choking and isn't letting me e-file!

@Harayden I have the desktop CD version - so I was able to download an update and then the e-file is fine. Maybe they haven't applied the software fix to the online version yet?

Good news: looks like TurboTax Online has been updated to fix this issue! I was just able to e-file. If you already told TurboTax you're going to file by mail, but haven't yet mailed your tax return yet, you may need to follow these steps to in order to e-file: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/3399683-how-do-i-change-from-mail-to-e-file-in-turbotax-online">ht...>
