Now it is 2/15, so I logged back in and followed the steps to fix and refile. My return was rejected again. Now what?
I had the same problem, but when I downloaded any upgrades this morning (2-15) I got no methods to fix the problem – just the same message ("....will be available Feb. 15") I went ahead and resubmitted the Mass. return and it was also rejected again. I got hold of a person at Intuit and they said the fix might arrive late tonight and to check again Friday morning (2-16). We'll see.
It's now the 16th and there was no update that told me how to fix the Mass. return so it isn't rejected. What's the story? What now?
I tried again about two hours ago and have not yet received a rejection--the last few times the rejection came within 15 minutes. I have not received an acceptance either, just a confirmation that it was sent. The one thing I did differently this time was to go back in an open my return. Last time I just followed the "fix" and "revisit" links, thinking that would take care of the problem. Maybe it made a difference? Time will tell, I guess. I'll post again if/when I receive either an acceptance or a rejection.
Hey, mine was just accepted! It might be a coincidence or it might be that I went back in and opened the return rather then following the "fix" and "revisit" links that the error message directed me to. If so, TurboTax sure could have made those instructions clearer. Good luck, everyone.
