There is an update available for your version of TurboTax. Before you can file electronically, you’ll need to get this update. To do this, go to the Online menu and select Check for Updates.

However, after updating, the same message continues to reappear, resulting in an endless loop.

Workaround

Some customers have been able to successfully e-file with this workaround:

Follow the steps in the article Troubleshoot TurboTax for Windows updating issues.
Now try e-filing again. If that didn't work, first uninstall and then reinstall your TurboTax program.
Finally, if you're still unable to e-file after following the above steps, you can either sign up to be notified by email when a fix has been released, or you can file a conventional paper return.

uninstall and then reinstall your TurboTax program is not a good solution to recommend.

I'm trying to get E-file update on my return, irs.gov. after submitting, SSN, filling status, and amount. I keep receiving error status. Why?

This is a known issue. When attempting to e-file a return in the TurboTax for Windows CD/Download software, this message appears:

I have the same problem. The patch ma_AnyTo019.000.1327 does not work either. At this point, Efile is not saving my time, but I am perfectly happy to mail it in. However, I am furious that Intuit already charged me for something that didn't work. Now I am spending even more time just try to begin to get this $20 fee removed from my credit card.
