Failed Validation efiling 2024 Turbo Tax Deluxe online version

I filed the Fed alone and it went through.

It's just my State that fails validation. I'm in California

I did the same thing - efile federal for now.  I did already pay for efiling CA returns, that is why it's annoying why I can't efile it at the same time.  

Yeah me too. I have my mother's to do now and will not pay to file state. It's convenient but not necessary.

Oh and now my Fed has been rejected. Lovely.

Says I didn't include the ACA insurance form. I'm not on ACA

Feds just accepted my returns.  There are some CA forms that are not ready to efile until 2/27.  I am not using any of those forms though.  But I wonder if they just won't take any efile returns until after 2/27.  

The link below has the various state forms and dates when they're ready to print or efile.  I am not filing any of the forms that are not ready to efile yet.  So I don't know if this is the hold up on CA efiling.

I just restarted TurboTax and got an update. My state then went through. 

Fed refiled and not rejected yet

Had the same problem for the last few days. (CA) But this morning an update was available and everything went through. IRS/FTB accepted returns within 45m. Not sure what created the error, but on my end it has been resolved.

Same problem. Filed Fed, can't file CA. Already paid for the efile.

Jerry,

FAILED_VALIDATION

Thanks

Michael

Thanks Tan.

This was helpful . . . 

I have a straightforward CA e filing with FTB.

I was surprised to see the following forms not supported Yet for online filing

- Form 8453 OL to authorize Online Filing - I think for CA

- Fed Schedule A - Itemized Adjustments

 Thanks

Later yesterday I restarted TT and an update happened. Then everything went through

I too am still receiving the Validation Error.  Help!!!!•

Here are several troubleshooting steps that you can try:

• Make sure your Windows Software is up to date.
• If you are using a downloaded version, uninstall and reinstall the program from your MyDownloads folder.  How do I find my TurboTax for Windows software download?
• If that doesn't help, try a manual update. What is a manual update?
• Turning off your VPN and anti-virus software during the update can help as well.

Thanks Catina,

I uninstalled / reinstalled turbo tax and i could see the California program updates go through upon installation.

I was able to transmit my CA return with e File without a hitch after that.

Thanks,

Bill M responded back to me earlier with the same recommendation and I followed that earlier suggestion.

I am having the same issue with trying to efile CA state return.  Any updates on how to fix?

Same problem which I never encountered before either.  I'll try submitting the Federal alone then California later.

I am trying to e-file an amended 1040X return and turbo tax will not let me because it says I have not had the original 1040 e-filed tax return filed and accepted.  Per the turbo e-file status the original return has been accepted and I have the refund.  How do I get the turbo tax to let me e-file the amended return?

Are you sure you are in the same account you filed your original return?

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines. 

• You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
• You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
• Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
• The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
• Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.
• You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment

Manual install of update worked for me today.....I downloaded the superpatch for TT 2024 (I'm using Premier 2024)...extracted files...restarted TT and was able to eFile my taxes....finally after an hour of searching for clues...

I tried:

-restarting computer

- running updates

did not want to uninstall/reinstall as i have had problems with that before.

I had my most complex filing this year...so possibly software needed the patch due to number of stock transactions (found this is another post)....  hope the superpatch works for you!
