I keep getting a Failed Validation Error when I try to submit my taxes for e-file. I check for updates as it says & everything is up to date. I try again & get the same message. I have tried restarting the computer & nothing seems to work.

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.
