    I have the same issue and it is still not fixed

    February 20, 2021

    This is the 2nd year in a row I've had this problem.  It took months last year to finally reach someone who could fix the problem for me.  Good news is, you can efile the federal return so at least you know that has been filed.   As for the Wisconsin return - I guess we have to wait for them to release a manual update that we can download from this website.  Unbelievable the amount of time I've wasted on this software the past two tax seasons.

    Please see the TurboTax FAQ for assistance this update issue:

    State install/e-file update loop: State not installed after installation or TurboTax needs to update prior to e-file

    I have been on the phone with 3 of you different experts with no resolution.  Between wait time and working with the experts I am over 6 hours into this.

    I also have been unable to file my WI S Corp taxes.  Keeps telling me to update; however, no update.  I did file the Federal S. Corp. taxes.  Waiting on calls back from support.

    I too am having the same issue I had last year with the submission of the WI S corp tax return.  I tried the fixes that were offered and neither worked.  (Reinstall program & remove state).  Please advise ASAP what you are going to do about this.  A patch/fix and a refund of cost for annoyance and wasted time would be a start. 

    February 23, 2021

    A refund is DEFINITELY warranted. I was about to request a waiver/exemption to efile from the WDR so I could just mail my simple return, but it can take 60 days to get approved at which time I’d be late. Feeling like a captive here.

    I am in the same boat as everyone on this thread. Been on phone with TurboTax support for hours. Already filed federal form so feeling very trapped. Starting to lose sleep over this issue at this point.

    I am not sure why an "expert" cannot solve this problem within an hour rather than waiting days.  It has been a an issue now for at least two years.  I called the support line and she looked for an answer in the community support pages.  I did that already.  She sent me a link and wanted to get off the phone ASAP.  It was a link from 2019 taxes.  Turbotax needs to have actual software engineers answering these issues not phone jockeys.

    I was able to e-file my Wisconsin return just now. A lot of stress and frustration could have been avoided if we had known a fix was coming, and when, and also if TT phone support people had more thorough training.

    Its absolutely ridiculous that this is not yet fixed

    February 25, 2021

    I'm having the same issue and wasted four hours today talking with three different "tax people" at TurboTax, none of whom seemed to understand my issue, let alone solved it for me. Screen sharing would not work so no one was able to look at my return. The second person was messaging with tech support while she was talking to me and eventually passed along a message from the tech that "no tech support was available" and that my only option is to paper file. The third person eventually recommended an upgrade to TT Online Self Employed, assuring me that it would handle an S-Corp return, adding, "it'll handle pretty much anything you need." I don't think she had heard of an S-Corp and had no clue what I needed. I'm so fed up I'm planning to research alternatives to TT for next year.

    UPDATE! Wisconsin s corp tax return transmitted successfully! I did not do anything on my end. I already had my return open in TurboTax Business 2020 from previously unsuccessfully transmitting return from a few days ago. I just hit Transmit Now and it worked. Glad TurboTax fixed the bug!

    February 26, 2021

    Mine did too just now.  Don't see why they couldn't post an update for us.

    TurboTax program updates typically occur on Thursdays, so if folks are now able to efile the Wisconsin state corporate return, maybe this week's program update fixed something in that regard.
