Try these options to fix the issue you are having

If you are using TurboTax Online

  • Check ‌your browser's settings. (Clear your Cache and Cookies)
  • Check on your internet connection
  • Try using a different web browser 

If you are using TurboTax Desktop

  • Make sure the software is updated. 
  • If you haven't rebooted your computer, please do
  • Check your firewall and antivirus settings. Make sure they aren't blocking any feature of the software. 

** If you are using the phone/tablet app, try changing to laptop/computer if possible. If you do not have access to a computer, switch to a web browser within your phone or tablet, and sign in from there. 

If you are still having issues after trying these options, contact Customer Support by clicking the link below

**You might also want to uninstall and reinstall your desktop product (this has worked for some users). Make sure that you save the file and do a back up of your information (you do not want to lose any information). See the links below

How do I back up my tax file in the TurboTax Desktop software?

I love how you are trying to make an AI look human

First, if you had read what I wrote I am using a desktop PC as I stated, to learn to read (do you as a company not realize that this type of reply is a slap in the face to the customer?).

I guess that you never told the AI that the software on the PC updates every time you load it.

the computer is fully updated rebooted and works fine.

I already tried customer support and they said they could not help.

get a human to work on this and quit with the copy-paste reply

At what point are you getting the error? You say when you try to file - so after you press the transmit now button?

 

The Desktop Software does not always automatically update. If you have ran all updates, you may need to do a manual update. 

 

What is a manual update?

in responce to your reply.

I did another reboot of the computer.

I updated again and have today's date as the latest update on the software.

I attempted one more time to transmit my completed tax return, and guess what? I got the exact same error.

On a happy note, my daughter was able to use the program to transmit a simple tax return with no issue on the same computer.

So the software issue seems to be related to complex tax returns i wonder if that will get someone to actually look at why complex returns are failing on your software.

Please share if your return contains Form 5695 claiming Residential Energy Credits with joint occupancy.

If you get the error when trying to pay for Efile, try turning off your anti-virus programs as they may be blocking connection to the billing server.  Here's more info on How to Turn Off Anti-Virus Programs. Sometime going back a couple screens, then returning, has worked. 

 

If this does not apply, when does the error appear?  We are tax experts in this forum, not tech support, so it's difficult to diagnose without knowing your system configuration.  The Tech Support folks can get into your computer to do this.

 

Lots of complex returns are filed without issues.
