My Federal Return is rejected by Turbotax, and I believe it is because of Form 2210 Turbotax Software Bug!. Please see attached screen shot below. Also Error Check did not specific any errors.

Reason for Rejection: "F2210-003 - If Form 2210, Part II, Line A checkbox 'WaiverOfEntirePenaltyInd' is checked, then [WaiverExplanationStatement] must be attached to Form 2210"

But the above message is wrong. Clearly Part II Section A has the Waiver Explanation Statement as "85% Waiver"

Frustrating why turbotax is not testing this before releasing! Ridiculous! This is the third issue i am facing.

We should ask for refund of the money paid for turbotax. It is ridiculous to have so many bugs.

I did what was suggested by clicking the Explain button under box B of Part 2. I wrote "85% waiver" as the explanation and transmitted the return again. I received the same rejection. My list of forms shows the explanation under Form 2210. I guess I will have to wait for TT to fix this.

Both Box A and Box D are checked on my return. Both of them result in no underpayment penalty. However, I cannot uncheck either one. I do not know if having both boxes checked is causing the return to be rejected. Help TT.

Same issue here. In a related post from aloksukhwani, TT claims they will have it fixed on 2/22.

See if any of these steps will help:

1) Open your return - Click on Federal - Click on Other Tax Situations - Under Additional Tax Payments choose Underpayment Penalties - Answer the on-screen questions related to Underpayment Penalties. If you waive part of the penalty be sure to enter an explanation. If you there is no penalty, write in: "There is no penalty to be calculated".

2) When you get to the screen that says Possible Penalty Exceptions (It doesn't show up for all situations, so you might not actually see that, and therefore, this option will not apply to you), say No and on the next screen enter 2017 tax liability as zero.

3) Print and mail your return.

Here is some more info:

Agreed. You shouldn't. But this issue requires a fix. And while we are waiting for the fix, the above steps work for some. Another solution that also worked for some was deleting transfer from prior 2017 and redoing the return. Meaning, clear and start over. It's a fairly drastic step and I wouldn't recommend it myself. The fix should be coming out. Just not sure on the date yet.
