I can't get Turbo Tax to e-file. The final review doesn't show any errors.

All of the program updates are up-to-date.

It says "This return has certain forms that can't be e-filed, usually because of tax regulations, so you'll need to file by mail. For more details, select the Review tab, above, and continue through Final Review. To file by mail, select the file tab, continue and select File by Mail."

I don't want to wait for mailing it in.

what forms? certain forms for your return may not yet be final so until they are you can't e-file. Turbotax is waiting for IRS approval so there's nothing it can do at this point. mailing your return with invalid forms may hold up your refund even more. The IRS won't open e-filing until 1/29. Submitting them now and they will just sit on Turbotax servers until that date so you can wait.

since this link for forms availability

https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product=Turbotax_online&bu=cg

for the agency box select US or state.

Im getting this same message, my tax sistuation has not changed in the past 5 years and I have always e-filed.

Whats going on with this?

I deleted Schedule C and the worksheet then TT proceeded with efiling federal. My Sched C was a leftover from last year and was not applicable this year.

Why is the title of this page "solved" when clearly the problem is not solved?

Or has the 'mystery' about it who's problem this is been solved? Meaning, we now know TurboTax is aware of the fact that it's their problem ...

<<Why is the title of this page "solved" when clearly the problem is not solved?

Beacause TT has solved the why is this happening, but not fixed it.

That would be an "Aha!!!!", not "Solved"

Same problem here. I have a Schedule C and can't e-file.

Took all my data (including all the business income and expenses) over to the freetaxusa site and it's all e-filed. I recommend it.

It is now 1/29 and I am getting this same error message! I have not filed by paper in over a decade. What the heck!?

I have the same issue as of 01/29. Was on phone with Turbo Tax for 45 minutes. Same forms for last three years. They had no solution but wait. Very frustrating.

I am getting the same error. I noticed that for my 1099 NEC that no value is showing even though I put a value in there. I wonder if that is causing part of the problem.

Yeah My 1099 did the same thing it shows $0 even though i put in a value twice.

I am a mechanical engineer and I know if I release a defective product I get fired and if an electrical engineer releases a defective design they would get fired as well but for some reason the technology industry has determined that software engineers can F**k up an entire product and that's ok. Everything we do on phones, tablets and computers are impacted by software engineer screw ups. every time a web site doesn't work, form or online payment doesn't work its because of some software engineer. They are the cause of everyday frustration because of their completely defective work.

The most infuriating part about this whole thing is the reason we have to use this software at all is because Intuit spends millions lobbying the US Government to keep it this way. Never giving a dime to Intuit again. Should be shut down.

I have the same issue, how did you resolve this?

I had this error and fixed it - here's what happened to me. I started with TT Deluxe and started on my personal return. I later upgraded to TT Home and Business to help a family member file for their home-based business. When I went back to finish my return, I received the same error you described. I looked in "View" from the top toolbar - then looked at Forms. I saw a Schedule C that I knew didn't belong. I went back to the step-by-step and noticed that there was a new tab for "Business" in the top tabs. In there I found the Schedule C that was somehow added to my return. To correct, I opened that tab, and the first section had a blank Schedule C, I just had to delete it. To be safe, I "updated" all of the fields in that tab to be sure they were empty - and it worked, and I was able to electronically file. Hope this helps you.
