Transferred from online to Desktop - form8949 missing error - unable to efile

Hello

 

I am a long time user of TurboTax online (since 2009) and I am trying out the desktop version now. I had everything setup online and transferred it to the desktop for 2023 taxes.

After review - went till e-filing and ended up getting the below error.

 

We can't e-file your return because  we are unable to locate the attachment at /attachment/Form8949ExceptionReportingStatement-3.pdf. Please go back and re-attach it. Then try e-filing again.

 

I uploaded a few csv's containing Crypto transactions at turbotax.com (online) and that I think that might be missing from here. I am not sure if that is the case. How to troubleshoot? Can someone help? Thanks.

I suspect that you will have to remove the crypto detail from TurboTax Desktop and upload again the crypto detail into TurboTax Desktop.

 

In TurboTax Desktop, you can create a backup of your TurboTax Desktop tax return.  I would create the backup at File / Save as and use it to make all of your changes.  At least you will have the original tax return to revert to.

 

I do not know what kinds of uploads or downloads that you did to generate your TurboTax Online tax return.  Most, but not all, of those processes are available in TurboTax Desktop.  

 

Post here if you have further questions.
