I am receiving this message, Oops-an issue occurred. Please check back shortly. What could this mean?

I am getting the same message. It is very frustrating and concerning not knowing if my returns were submitted successfully with only a couple of hours to go before the deadline.

Hang in there Lindsey!!  Keep refreshing your email and the TurboTax screen.  The email will come first.

File an extension just in case. @LLindsay1 @LMNOATP @abroo811

Hey guys, just got me email. Took about 1:25 hours before it showed up.

I'm sure with the volume of returns that is what is hanging up the systm.

I'm sure the IRS will treat Turbotax submitted timestamp the same way they

do a pre-midnight drop off at the post office. 

[LMNOATP]

Good news, Just after midnight my time:

[PaulaM]

Good to hear. It was likely due to the large volume of submissions today. @LMNOATP 

[Randy031]

Has anyone found a solution to this problem? Does this mean I will be late if my return does not get accepted or going through?

[Khlash99]

Same.   I got the same and didn't get the email until hours after the initial submission.  Error is still there.  Uggh

I got the Oops message too. No worries though. It’s at least filed on/at Turbo Tax, be it today or tomorrow. Worse case a penalty/fee will apply on the back end. Which is of no additional or significant consequence. We’re not talking jail time for receiving an Oops error message. Again, the rest can & will be handled on the back end. No need to worry if you didn’t make the deadline.

SAME.  guess we shouldn't leave filing online through TurboTax to the last second.  

[TFZ]

Yes we shouldn’t but many of us do haha. You can’t error people out if you’re TurboTax; it’s just causing unnecessary stress and panic.  They’re too big for this 

[Monkey leroy]

Yup I just finished mine and says the same thing let’s hope it goes through lol.

last minute as usual 

[Tritri0079]

[lupewalken]
