Turbotax BUSINESS 1041 CRITICAL ERROR 25300

I have no idea whether or not this will work but it DID work for some other users who were somehow stuck in Forms Mode.

 

Click File at the top of the screen to get the dropdown. Click Electronic Filing and then File Electronically. This somehow forced the program out of Forms Mode.

I am getting this same error.  Were you able to figure out how to fix it?

Validation Error #25300 typically indicates a data mismatch or a critical form error. Try the following steps:

 

  1. Identify and clear the error by reviewing the list of forms for red exclamation points. Either enter the missing information or delete the form entirely.
  2. Once all forms are clear, click Step-by-Step in the header to go back to the main screens
  3. You may need to re-enter the information that was changed or deleted.

 

If the program is frozen and won't let you click anything, save your return and exit the software. Restart and allow all updates. You can also follow the instructions here: Manually Update TurboTax Business Software.
