Federal return rejected because of Form 2210 Turbotax Software Bug!

My federal return was just rejected for this error.  I re-submitted.  This year I owed money, which I noticed the government already deduced.  Are they going to take the money out of my checking again?

Federal return rejected because of Form 2210 Turbotax Software Bug!

Issue:  "If Form 2210, Part II, Line A checkbox 'WaiverOfEntirePenalty' is checked, the [waiverexplanationstatement] must be attached to Form 2210". Is this a TurboTax issue?

I had this problem too, but after speaking with one of the Intuit representatives we found a "work around" to get our return re-filed and accepted on 2nd attempt.  I don't know why Form 2210 (Penalty Calculation for Not Paying Enough during the tax year) is loading when you have a refund (state too), but apparently it is on some returns.

The first thing we tried was to delete Form 2210, save the return, and close the Turbo Tax program.  When I re-opened Turbo Tax I looked at the Forms menu and to my surprise Form 2210 was back and did NOT go away.  In addition, there were no red exclamation errors noted.  IMO there should be an error noted if the return is going to reject, but...….

So, I tried to un-check the box on Form 2210 Part II Line A, but it would not un-check.

Here's how to fix the problem without waiting for a software update (if there is one).

1. Use "override" on the check box and  un-check the box on Form 2210 Part II Line A.

2. Save your return.

3. Close Turbo Tax program.

4. Re-open Turbo Tax and your return.

5. Check the Forms menu and Form 2210 should be gone and no red exclamation errors noted.

6, Re-file your return.

My Federal return was accepted within an hour.

Hope this technique works for you.

I went in and added a comment to Form 2210 stating TTax is screwed up and I don't owe a penalty.  We will see if it gets rejected a 3rd time or goes through.
