TurboTax will not file my return electronically? Says my connection is not secure. Went through the provided trouble shooting page with no success. Still can't file.

I had this problem and found a solution.  I'm using Windows 10 and Kaspersky Total Security.  Went into Kaspersky (find icon in tray on lower right corner of your screen) > Settings (the little gear symbol in bottom left corner) > Additional > Network > Encrypted connections scanning.  Check "Do not scan encrypted connections."  This solved the problem.  

Suggest you go back into Kaspersky and recheck "Always scan encrypted connections" after filing electronically through TurboTax.

I was told this by TT yesterday:
the IRS is no longer accepting transmitted returns.
Weird... I've never had that answer before.

Not sure what you read or were told by TT--or if you misunderstood something.  A 2018 return can still be e-filed until October 15, 2019.  Any other tax return from 2017 or earlier cannot be e-filed.  Returns from 2017 or earlier must be printed, signed and mailed.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

I also ran into a problem with  Kaspersky preventing the transmission of tax returns over the internet. I had to "turn off protection" in the Kaspersky console and completely "close" Kaspersky (using Force Quit if necessary).

I was able to transmit once I completely turned off Kaspersky.

Same problem. Tried everything, incl. 4 calls with TT support. I have Webroot, even shut down its protection. Tried using Chrome instead of Microsoft Edge. Printed a zillion TT releases on the exact no secure connection, others on firewalls. Have Chrome installed but Defender is snoozed when another browser. Nothing worked. I have a secure connection, so that is NOT the issue TT! Anyone else who has Edge  and was able to fix this problem?

Have you tried using a ethernet connection if you are using WiFi?
