Your transmission didn't go through

We could not efile your return for the following reason:

We had a problem while saving your return for filing.

Please try to efile again and if that fails contact customer service

I'm so sorry. This is a known issue within TurboTax and is under investigation. I'll update you here when I learn anything more.

@pesachsameach Still no word from TurboTax Moderators on resolving this issue. However, a user on a different thread about the same error message said he was finally able to e-file today. Just letting you know.

@pesachsameach I've been told today that this issue has been resolved. Have you been able to successfully e-file?

On another thread about this same issue, however, users have determined that the problem is associated with crypto transactions. Some have resorted to using the Desktop (CD/Download) platform in able to enter all the transactions. I'm sharing that thread below, hoping that something there helps you out if you're still having trouble.
