Log back into your TurboTax account in a different window and try a different browser ( chrome, Mozilla, etc...)

users experiencing this problem can't log in successfully. I also have been experiencing this issue for the last ~3 days.

I'm having the same *** issue. I've already have a support session open. Someone from support called me back. Let me be clear, I've already tried a number of browsers in both a Mac and Windows setting. This is is NOT A BROWSER ISSUE. There is something very wrong with your servers. I have an overwhelming amount of records to file, I need this service to work!

I am having the same issue.  I have attempted to login 3 times over the last month and get the same message no matter what I do??

May 14, 2020

Same problem. Wish I would have used an accountant instead of this program because now I can't access my data and if I can't get my data to my banker I'm going to be homeless. This is bull**bleep**.

I am having this issue as well. It occurred last week too

This is a problem with your internet service.

It might be a Chrome issue. I had the same issue there and cleared the cache but it persisted. I switched to Safari and it worked. And shame on you Intuit for not dealing with this more proactively. Do not listen to ANYONE that blames your internet connection.

Thanks Vertizon1.

 

I too think it has nothing to do with my internet connection as everything else connects fine including netflix streaming.I do use a chrome browser though.

Yes- That maybe too narrow a cause (Just Chrome) based on the discussion, but it at least seems browser-based. Focus there to start and hope for some real help if not. Sorry you're seeing it too. Such a crazy hassle with impeccably poor timing. Good luck!

Very disappointing to find this thread with no solutions.  I use Opera and Vivaldi.  Getting the error on both.  Tried switching to a VPN connection and still getting same error on both browsers.

First time I've used online Turbo Tax.  Sure missing the downloaded version.

EDIT:  Just tried Firefox on my laptop with internet connection supplied by a hotspot.  Same result.
And for anyone thinking of suggesting I go back to downloaded version, I pay for Quickbooks SE and filing taxes online is part of what I'm paying for.

Seeing the same issue as well! Has anyone from Intuit provided a response to the earlier complaints?

I'm getting the same issue - when i try clicking the link to get updates on the KNOWN issues - it says access denied.  is there a better link that works for updates?

February 23, 2021

Got the same message on phone and Turbo Tax Online......

Took the risk of getting the CD version/download of Turbo Tax - It worked....took some time to import the transactions from Robinhood (approx 2000 ) but it worked......

Utter nonsense and useless product!!! I'm still getting the error in 2023! I used four different browsers across three other platforms and still had the same issue. The IT department is clueless about the subject—3+ years without resolution. Surprisingly there wasn't any issue while collecting premium fees for federal and state, but it started as soon as I was about to e-transmit the returns.
