Form 7206 cannot be efiled!

[tventre]

That is exactly what happened to me but I filed the day before the desktop fix with the on-line version, return was accepted but my refund is still being processed.  I saw where someone dropped form 7206, lost a few $$$ but got their refund.  I am debating doing that, but I am expecting a good refund and need the money.  TurboTax has really messed up this time.  I am truly disgusted.

I am still trying to file and getting rejected on the desktop version.  Any update on when this might get fixed?

You should not still be experiencing this issue. 

Make sure you have ran all updates: see this FAQ.

If you still are not able to solve this, please call TurboTax Customer service.  Here is a link:  Turbo Tax Customer Service

I did the update and it said I had all updates.  I am still getting rejected.  I called the turbo tax support number, and they told me to enter turbo tax again and follow the simple step by step instructions.  I can't see what simple step-by-step instructions they are talking about.  I checked my efile status and it had a button to click to fix my return.  I did that and efiled again.  I continue to get rejected.  I am running turbotax deluxe on desktop.

This is the message I get when I check my efile status and click fix my return: 

An XML document that represents a binary attachment must have a valid reference to an attached file.

Data in the return is missing or invalid and cannot be electronically filed at this time.  If Form 7206(s) are in the return, review the form(s) for accuracy and errors.  If the form(s) is attached in error delete it and resubmit the return for electronic filing.  If necessary, make the appropriate change and re-submit this return electronically.  Etc.

The Form 7206 is one of the forms that TurboTax desktop does not support for E-File.  However, you can efile this form using the Online Program. 

If you use this link and click "use this tool" at the beginning of the article, you will be able to see all the different forms that TurboTax supports for Efile and when they will be ready.  Be sure to select your version at the top of tool.  Note, at this time, MAC and Windows do not support efile.  Your only other option on desktop would be to mail in the return.  But, you can always switch over to TurboTax online and e-file.

They fixed this weeks ago and we were all able to Efile.

Go to Forms mode and delete the 7206.  Try again.

-----------------------------------------

If you filed via e-file, but your federal filing was rejected, that is a different problem than the "cannot efile because you have a form 7206" that many had earlier, but has since been corrected and many have filed successfully.  I have filed witha 7206 and have my refund.  Make sure the people at Intuit realize what your problem actually is.  This problem really doesn't fall under this thread's subject.  You might want to start a new thread with a correct subject line, so if others have your problem they can find your issue and chime in.

Those who say this is fixed are either deleting Form 7206 (and if they are still claiming a deduction that requires this form they just may be audited!) or they are filing using the on-line version.   Desk top version does not work with this form.... and calling TurboTax is useless since they are just following a guidebook of canned answers.   As of 14 March 2024 this is not fixed in the DESKTOP version of Home and Business TT.

ashland_marsh-fr: No. I used the desktop version of Home and Business. I claimed the self-employed health insurance deduction that requires Form 7206 and did not delete Form 7206. I filed my tax return from the desktop software on February 15, and both the federal and state returns were accepted the same day. 

[Dmcgan]

I had the same successful experience.  Not sure why people are still having the problem.

[Dmcgan]

Using the Windows Desktop Deluxe version.  I successfully file my returns (Federal and State), received an "accepted" notice the same day, and have now received both my refunds.
