Error 2 on Turbotax Business desktop

My forms are good no errors. Use Windows 10.  Internet issues or your Filling center servers maintenance. "Try again later" - when later - another bug ?

  • Try turning off all anti-virus software, which could be blocking transmission.
  • Change Internet security settings from Medium-High to Medium
  • Make sure you're running TurboTax (and saving tax files) on your C drive

Having files on c: drive was the solution for me.  This is a bad error message that needs to be fixed.

Your answer has nothing to do with the error 2.

My solution - decrease the .pdf file size. Your server might have some limits on accepting files. I decreased it to standard 5 MB and it worked.

Thank you for the tip about the attached form 8453 PDF file size. Decreasing the size did the trick. Much appreciated. -ds-

Likewise, once I re-pdfed the file to a smaller size and it transmitted. Thanks for the tip!
