Hi, 

 

When I am trying file my tax through e-file I am getting the following error. Please let me what can I do to e-file my taxes through turbo. Looking forward for a solution.

 

Your transmission didn't go through
We could not e-file your return for the following reason:
The Intuit Electronic Filing System is having difficulty recognizing the data in the return you are sending. To ensure you have the latest version of TurboTax, wait 24 hours to update your program automatically. If you still can't transmit your return, go to www.support.turbotax.com for a solution or workaround. In some cases, you may need to file your return by mail. - 601ERRV:5, CustHdr_17 - ?:? - Invalid SMS Number. Must be between 10 and 10 digits.
 
Thank you,
Anvitha

And here's a long discussion about the same issue...maybe one of the followup posts will show something that helps...several of these posts have people who said that "something" in one of the comments helped.:
