I am having all the same issues. Worked fine for years and now all of a sudden I cant efile.

CatinaT1 · ‎January 31, 2024

This is a known issue in TurboTax and we are working to resolve it as soon as possible. As soon as we have a resolution for you, it'll be shared on Community. The issue is scheduled to be resolved end of 1/31. Please do not file prior to 2/1.

I have the EXACT same issue. Filing the exact same for last 4 years 2 @ W2 and 1 small business. Does NOT identify any forms that are the reason for no efile. Checked the list and NOTHING in there is in my filing. Just says the return as certain forms and then it also makes sure I cant efile with state either. (how convenient).

It’s a major flop on TT’s part, will be moving to H&R Block next year, no reason to spend this kind of money on an app that doesn’t work. You can transfer your old TT files into H&R Block as well 🙂

Turbotax in my case is defaulting 1040 to 1040 SR......this form can't be e-filed, but shouldn't default because I'm not a senior over 65. Nothing has changed except the 1040 switch.

SteamTrain · ‎January 31, 2024

@Xuaeder

Has to be something else...the 1040SR can be e-filed.....and is itself exactly the same as the Plain 1040 (but larger type on the printed copy). I've been e-filing the 1040SR ever since it came into existence.

Double-check the date you entered for your birthday (or spouse if married). That date must follow the format mm/dd/yyyy. Don't shorcut any digits....like enter everything Example 02/03/1985

It’s nothing to do with dates or it being a 1040 or 1040Sr it’s an issue with TT, they are supposed to have to software update tomorrow to resolve this issue though I doubt they do, might look at getting a TT refund and switching to H&R Block, could be months before their developer(s) can fix the issue.

lenelson777 · ‎January 31, 2024

Well, it’s now no longer 1/31 and no fix yet….???

lenelson777 · ‎January 31, 2024

Yet here we are now 2/1/2024 with no solution?

wbaldwin67 · ‎February 1, 2024

Last nights update allowed me now to submit my Taxes.

jandhhaller · ‎February 1, 2024

When I click on any of these links it shows that nothing can be found.

CatinaT1 · ‎February 1, 2024

What links are you referring to? Are you having a problem? Please explain.
