I can't transmit my federal return

2019 Turbotax is terrible!

 

Now it's saying I can't even transmit my federal return because there is an update available for my version. When trying to update, it tells me my software is up to date.

 

I give up!

Do not give up! You are almost there. 

 

Here is my advice: 

 

Update it a couple more times, exit the program, wait for a few minutes, then re-open your program to try.

  • If you are using the TurboTax CD/Download software program, open the program, from the top, under Online, select Check for Updates.

Hi,

It's not working so I decided to file my taxes with a competitor.

I'll give it another try next year.

Please refund my $40 I was charged for the additional state.

Thanks.

I have the same problem.  I tried 'Update' for 2 days, still cannot Launch Returns.  No help from TurboTax.  Worthless.  Cannot talk to a real person.
