I am trying to file an extension. I have tried several times. Every time I click the "Print Extension" button, I get the this error. I have sent a report, but don't have time to wait for a fix.

You may want to log out, clear your cookies and cache, and then log back in.

Here's how:

Each browser has a slightly different method for deleting cookies. Choose the browser you're using:

A full or corrupted cache can cause problems in TurboTax, so sometimes you need to clear your cache (that is, remove these temporary files).

Here are the official instructions for the most popular browsers:

Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 (use the drop-down on the upper right corner of that page for earlier versions)
Microsoft Edge

Apple's official support site doesn't appear to contain instructions for clearing the cache in Safari. Your best bet is to search the Internet for clear Safari cache or similar search terms.

Thank you; however, I am using the TurboTax progam installed on my laptop from a disk, not a web browser. Any further suggestions?

Thanks again.
