I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling TurboTax Deluxe. Odd that everything works when I filed my daughter's return.

Try disabling anti-virus software. Here's How to Turn Off Anti-Virus Programs. Yes, it is strange that you had no issues Efiling your daughter's return. Did she file a Wisconsin State Return also?

You could also try deleting WI and loading it again.
