Error Message when attempting to Transmit return

Using Turbotax 2025 Premier

 I've been attempting to transmit my return for the past few hours and am getting the following error:

 

"We're experiencing Internet transmission problems. Your transmission didn't go through. Intuit's Electronic Filing Center did not receive your return(s)." 

 

Problem is not with my internet connection since I can leave this message on your site. All my other apps work fine. Running Win11. Turbotax has been updated to latest available download.

 

How can I fix this and transmit my return?

I would like to take a deeper look at this. However, I need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:

 

TurboTax Online:

 

  1. Sign into your online account.
  2. Locate the Tax Tools on the left-hand side of the screen.
  3. A drop-down will appear. Select Tools
  4. On the pop-up screen, click on “Share my file with agent.”
  5. This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us.
  6. Please provide the Token Number that was generated in the response.

 

TurboTax Desktop/Download Versions:

 

  1. Open your return.
  2. Click the Online tab in the black bar across the top of TurboTax and select “Send Tax File to Agent” *
  3. This will generate a message that a diagnostic copy will be created.  Click on OK and the tax file will be sanitized and transmitted to us.
  4. Please provide the Token Number  (including the dash) that was generated in the response.

 

*(If using a MAC, go to the menu at the top of the screen, select Help, then, “Send Tax File to Agent”)

The team has identified that you are getting that message because a state form is required and was not included in your return and they are still looking into it. 

You can try to file the federal only for now and file your state later.

Error Message when attempting to Transmit return

The state program was downloaded and after answering a question or two it stated that filing the NH return is not required and that NH does not support e-filing for a business form (I think it was the TB form or something like that). NH does not have any income taxes other than business and certain interest/dividends which does not apply in my situation.

In any case, I was attempting to file the federal return only and was not filing a NH return.
