"I keep getting an error after I click Download on my 2018 Turbotax PDF."

 

What is the error??  Do you get any kind of message?

 

Was the 2018 return prepared in Free Edition or a paid edition?

Thanks for asking - the error message says, “Hmmm, looks like we’ve hit a snag. There was an issue downloading your file. Let’s go back to Tax Home and try again later.”

 

I’ve retried several times over the past few days, but to no avail. 


I used TurboTax Premier In 2018.

Are you using any browser add-ons with script blockers such as NoScript or tracking blockers that might interfere?  If so, you may need to adjust those extension settings to see if that makes a difference.

 

If it's continuing, then wait at least 60 minutes from the last error notice, then try using a different browser to see if that makes a difference.

 

If you still get the same error, and if no one else offers any suggestions, here's how you can phone TurboTax Support during business hours tomorrow:

I’ve tried Chrome and Safari browsers and I don’t have extensions to block pop-ups or scripts (that I’m aware of - I’ll double-check). 


I’ll try the contact info you shared tomorrow when support is in office. Thank you for the help, mesquitebean.
