Unable to file MA state return, error message says I need to update a file but am using the website

I'm unable to file Federal or State because of the below error note at the very end of the process. The text implies this is a TurboTax error and not anything on my side... is anyone else getting this / can something be done? I'm using the website so have no way to update anything and there is no 'Check for Updates' area on the screen. A live agent had me log out and log in again but it didn't resolve the issue 

 

Thanks!

We would like to take a deeper look at this. However, we need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:

 

 TurboTax Online:

  1. Sign in to your online account.
  2. Locate the Tax Tools on the left-hand side of the screen.
  3. A drop-down will appear. Select Tools
  4. On the pop-up screen, click on “Share my file with agent.”
  5. This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us.
  6. lease provide the Token Number that was generated in the response.
