I am one step away from e-filing my 2021 1040 SR return. Turbo Tax states it is unable to transmit due to a Tax Program update that is required. How do I access that?

I had exactly the same problem on Mac TurboTax Deluxe downloaded: ready to e-file but kept getting "technical hiccup" with just "cancelled" as the reason.  Not particularly conducive to troubleshooting!  I tried removing cookies and enabling pop-ups, but those suggestions did NOT solve the problem.

 

Solution: Though I didn't receive any notification of updates when I restarted TurboTax, I *manually* checked for updates, and found that there were updates to be installed!  When I installed those updates and restarted TurboTax, the e-files went through with no problems.

I believe I had to uninstall and reinstall Turbotax.  Solved the problem.

This appears to be still an issue with Deluxe 2023. On with support for 2 hours and no resolution. Then got hung up on. Called back and on hold again. Very frustrating and disappointed in TurboTax. Do better folks.

This has been resolved.

Try closing TurboTax, clear your Cache and Cookies if you are using TurboTax Online, and reopen TurboTax. You can also try a different browser.

Also, make sure you have ran all updates. 

If you are using TurboTax Desktop, check for updates under the Online Tab.
