Failed validation error

Filing form 1065 electronically (Federal & NJ 1065).  Same problem here.  I uninstalled, reinstalled etc.  I also installed (from scratch) to a different computer that had no Intuit product on it whatsoever.  Same result: "FAILED VALIDATION Error Code 54".  This morning, I tried again, same error message.  I then electronically filed the Federal 1065 by itself and it went through.  I waited until I received confirmation from IRS that the federal 1065 was accepted and filed NJ-1065.  Result:  same error message.  Based on other postings on this subject, it seems that the problem is being caused by something in the State return portion of the software.  Maybe Intuit can check the software code for the State products to finally fix this issue in advance of the tax return filing deadline. 

I am using Turbotax Business for LLCs in California.  I was able to get beyond the Failed Validation Error #54 by turning off Norton Virus Protection.  Launching Turbotax again.   It then found an update, which once processed, allowed the electronic filing to go through.   I hope this is helpful to someone.  

Believe me, you're not alone. I'm in CA and trying to submit both Fed and State, indeed I have a same issue. Here are what I did 

• Install Turbotax 2024 to MacOS 13 and above
• log in as Turbotax account 
• Transmit tax return both Fed and CA State 
• And successfully went through 
• Both Fed and State were accepted IRS. 

Hopefully, it helps.
