Certainly...don't attempt to file until you see/print your actual forms...and that the numbers make absolute sense.

If you are using the "Online" software, sue the left-side Tools menu to find the selection to preview your form 1040...then look at all the $$ amounts to see which are ridiculous...then go back to that particular income section to find your entry error.

If you are using the "Desktop" software....switch to Forms Mode...to look at your 1040 to see if you can see which income area has a ridiculous number and then go investigate that area.

Still can't tell? start thru all the income areas in the interview and check the totals for ALL your income types....one of them is screwy.

Finally, if you uploaded any tax forms using a picture or PDF upload...delete that form entirely and re-enter it manually. The A.I. that interprets those Picture/PDF uploads is prone to some massive errors (and, my opinion, should never be used) Only direct imports of tax forms from provider are 98% accurate..Pictures are NOT.

No. The issue did not resolve. I will have to just print out the return and file by mail. Very disappointing service from TT. They said they wouldn’t help me unless I pay for live tax help. Even though I paid for the audit protection. Stupid move for them since they’ll deal with this totally if I get audited

@mmdannunzio

Well...check again before printing and mailing.

Did you make any actual entries that were over 9,999,999.99. TTX software can't take any numbers over that amount That sometimes happens to folks who sold appreciated stock, even if the gain wasn't that large......or a home, farm, or small business operation sale with sales price very large.

For a large stock transactions, people get around it by entering two separate transactions (unequal) on the same date that total the same...as long as the final total "gain" isn't over that amount.
