I would like to take a deeper look at this. However, I need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:

 

TurboTax Online:

 

  1. Sign into your online account.
  2. Locate the Tax Tools on the left-hand side of the screen.
  3. A drop-down will appear. Select Tools
  4. On the pop-up screen, click on “Share my file with agent.”
  5. This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us.
  6. Please provide the Token Number that was generated in the response.

 

TurboTax Desktop/Download Versions:

 

  1. Open your return.
  2. Click the Online tab in the black bar across the top of TurboTax and select “Send Tax File to Agent” *
  3. This will generate a message that a diagnostic copy will be created.  Click on OK and the tax file will be sanitized and transmitted to us.
  4. Please provide the Token Number  (including the dash) that was generated in the response.

 

*(If using a MAC, go to the menu at the top of the screen, select Help, then, “Send Tax File to Agent”)

Sorry but I am out of town. Will send the requested file when I return home, since I filed from my PC.

How do I send the code you needed? Just replying again to your post?

This issue has been resolved.  Please be sure that you do not have any numbers at all in the business travel days or business income.  If you delete all numbers and let everything blank in regards to business, the error will clear and you can proceed.

OK will retry next year. But the business field was already blank to start with, and the system error was that it cannot be less than 1.

Thanks for addressing it
