Can't File Electronically - Form 7206

Form 7206 (Self-employed health insurance deduction) is finally available today (2/8/24). However, TT is telling me that I can't file electronically because of this form. Should I expect this to be cleared up soon or is this a permanent situation for this tax year?

Try closing TurboTax, clear your Cache and Cookies if you are using TurboTax Online, and reopen TurboTax.  You can also try a different browser.

 

Also, make sure you have ran all updates. 

 

If you are using TurboTax Desktop, check for updates under the Online Tab.

If you are still getting an error, it would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2023" file that is experiencing this issue. You can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information. If you would like to do this, here are the instructions: Go to the black panel on the left side of your program and select Tax Tools.
 

  1. Then select Tools below Tax Tools.
  2. A window will pop up which says Tools Center.
  3. On this screen, select Share my file with Agent.
  4. You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is. Click okay through this screen and then you will get a Token number.
  5. Reply to this thread with your Token number. This will allow us to open a copy of your return without seeing any personal information.

Here are the instructions if you are using TurboTax CD/Download:
 

  1. Click on Online in the top left menu of TurboTax CD/Download for Windows
  2. Select 'Send Tax File to Agent'
  3. Write down or send an image of your token number then place in this issue.
  4. We can then review your exact scenario for a solution.
  5. Please also tell us any states included in the return.

We will then be able to see exactly what you are seeing and we can determine what exactly is going on in your return and provide you with a resolution.

It is not resolved.  I just downloaded the update after I saw your comment and I am getting the same error.

I don't see "tax tools" in my TurboTax Deluxe program.  Can you post a screenshot?

There is no provision to send a note. All the program does is send the file. I can't write anything to accompany the file.

Still a problem here, too.  Have cleared cache on browswer, per TurboTax instructions, and checked for updated, and rebooted.  Still says e-file not possible with form 7206.  FYI after installing this morning's update, and running the review there were NO errors.  I tweaked something, and now this error has come up.Oddly I have TWO form 7206s and am only getting one error.

As noted in another thread, the amount in my 7206 Line 1 is incorrect--it does not include 1095-A premiums, even tho the correct amount is reflected elsewhere in TurboTax and in my Amount Due.  This seems to be a bigger problem than the inability to e-file.  Who wants to file with an incorrect form.

Some TurboTax customers may be experiencing an issue where TurboTax is adding Form 7206 Self-Employed Health Insurance Deduction when only one source of self-employment income is present, Form 2555 isn't being filed, and long-term care premiums aren't being included for the deduction. We’re currently working to resolve this issue. If you’d like to receive progress updates, sign up below.
