Failed Validation Error 54

I am using Turbotax Business for LLCs in California.  I was able to get beyond the Failed Validation Error 54 by turning off Norton Virus Protection and launching Turbotax again.   It then found an update, which once processed, allowed the electronic filing to go through.   I hope this is helpful to someone.

Failed Validation Error 54

I am getting the failed validation error when I try to e-file my California return.  I checked for updates and turned off and rebooted my computer.  I still can't get it to e-file.  I'm using Turbo Tax deluxe.  Any suggestions?  I already paid for e-file.

I exited Turbotax.  Turned off Norton virus protection.  Launched Turbotax.  This time it found an update that could be applied.   Then I could efile.
