This experience was resolved in the last software update. Please be sure to allow updates when you restart TurboTax Business.

No the last update was 1-31-26 it was successfully installed. I tried to file after the install when I got the error.

I just checked again there are no new updates to install. Something else is causing this problem. I see other users had success with detaching form 8453 and doing a new one. I will be giving that a try. but the problem was certainly not fixed in the last update.
