Captcha spinning and I am unable to transmit my return

Sounds like something got stuck. You can try these things:

• Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu.
• Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website.
• Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms.
• Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit."
• Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.

Most TurboTax errors happen because the browser is trying to use an old "session" from a previous visit. By clearing the cache or using Incognito mode, you force the browser to establish a brand-new, secure connection with the Intuit servers.

I cannot TRANSMIT a return via e-file.  The transmitting icon just keeps spinning.

I don't know how to fix this

This didn't fix my issue

Try clicking on the icon in front of the URL address, and go to 'Settings' and choose 'Allow' for Local Network.  It sounds like you're not making a good connection with the server.
