In years past the system gave same complaints and would take me to a form where I could truncate the names to make them shorter. It's not doing that now. Is there a bug in the workflow for 2023 state returns?
Go to the dividend reporting in the federal return and truncate the name.
mine was a vanguard issue, go into your dividend section and shorten the vanguard name.
The part that is too long is the payer of the dividends. It allows 15 characters (including spaces).
Go back to your original 1099-DIV input entry and edit it to change the name of the payer to 15 characters or less. if you imported it, delete and re-enter it manually.

Thank you, This information helped me so much ❤️
Linda is a life saver
I truncated the Dividend payers names to 15 <. Still get the error and it's stuck on my suffix , but won't take me to what it's saying is the error. I had to create a separate file for Iowa because I had to truncate the names to only the TIN. Still can't get past this error.
This did not work for me and I still can't submit. Any other recommendations?
After doing everything Linda said above, if it is still not working, follow these steps:
Desktop version:
Online version:
A full or corrupted cache can cause problems in TurboTax, so sometimes you need to clear your cache (that is, remove these temporary files).
For stuck information follow these steps:
I've tried editing the name and deleting and re-adding the DIV file and neither worked for me....
I tried everything as well. Nothing worked. I had to print and file by mail which is irritating.
