Many of us on this forum have reported and posted identical problems with efiling our returns that contain form 5695 entries. My return was also rejected (several times) and I also saw that this was attributed to a “processing error” between Turbo Tax and the IRS. Having to wait until March 6 to re-file, especially when a refund is due, just is not doing right by the customer! Apparently this was also a problem last year. So, lessons NOT learned? Ultimately, waiting until March 6 seems like the lesser of two evils. Mailing a paper copy to the IRS and hoping it doesn’t get lost in transit or further delayed upon arrival doesn’t seem like a safe alternative.

It would be great to hear directly from Turbo Tax that 1) They are aware of the problem and explaining what the problem is and 2) When they have solved and corrected the problem. TT is quick to send marketing emails. How about sending something constructive like telling us when this problem will be solved? Thanks

I agree, why not be out in front of your error, rather than have your customers repeatedly go through the motions only to find out the March 6, 2026 date doesn't work. Paying for a return I can't e-file seems like I would be entitled to a refund. And, don't put the blame on a calculation error by the Government, when it is clearly an Intuit problem to fix. Thank You andw95

Yes, you are correct, you will not be able to file your return at this time due to a processing error that will be corrected on March 6, 2026. On or after this date, open the rejected return, review it for errors, and resubmit the return for electronic filing.

This error code that is causing my tax return to be rejected by the IRS ... if it happens more than 5 times will it cause me to have to submit my 2025 tax return by paper only for any return I want to file? I have two individual returns I need to file and I don't want TurboTax or IRS to force me to file paper returns. This is important as the second separate return I need to file also includes a 5695 energy credit.
