What does this mean? At this time we do not have an estimate for when the problem will be resolved.

E-file was rejected and looks like I'll have to wait several weeks before it is resolved, or I can paper file, which of course I don't want to do!

if you don't want to paper file, you have to wait.

many filers are waiting for the tax software to be 100% ready.

It's possible that Form 8960 was not yet finalized when you submitted your return.  It is now available for print and e-file.  Please try re-filing.

this is incorrect.  I just spoke with a turbo tax specialist on phone and she said there is still a processing error, and I should check back in mid-February if I do not receive an email before then that the form is fixed.
