Error Code 54 on e-filing for a Trust

I'm using TurboTax Business 2025 for a Trust Filing. When I tried to e-file (both Federal and CA) my filings, I get FILED_VALIDATION Error Code 54. I've followed direction given on the dialog box to update the software. The update dialog box says "Your software is up to date". But, I still get the same validation error!

 

When will this problem be fixed?
