I have the TurboTax Deluxe disc and I’m unable to e-file my return. I have a w-2 and business income and expenses. When I go to e-file it says that some forms can’t be efiled but it doesn’t tell me which forms.

I myself am OK to wait a little while, but I just can't image the multitude of repeat business they lost over this!

Even if it does take time to fix, they could have saved face and posted something about it on their page and/or to their email database. Then they should apologize, then offer a purchase discount for next year. If not, they won't have ANY customers left.

Thanks for posting this so I know it wasn't anything I was doing or did wrong. TurboTax support was clueless. I can confirm it is a system wide issue and decided to use a competitor which successfully transmitted my e-file with my schedule C which was accepted by the IRS. In case anyone wants to go the same route here is the refund link https://accounts.intuit.com/app/oirr

its january 31st and i am still not able to E-file my tax return with my income from my schedule c form. When I remove the schedule C it is allowing me to efile. Other credits such as the residential energy credit and non cash contribution credits have a date listed that they won't be ready until 2/7 the Schedule C does not list a date it simply says you must mail in your return. Also when I check the form ready list it says the Schedule C form is ready for efiling. So is anyone else having this issue or have any insight as to why this is happening? For reference I am using the software version Turbo Tax Deluxe

This is a known problem for desktop users with Schedule C. I don't know if it's the Schedule C itself or a related form that flows to Schedule C that is causing the problem. Wait for the fix, and do not file your return by mail; that can delay its processing by weeks. TurboTax is aware of the problem and is working on it. If lucky, maybe the fix will be included in this week's update, which typically occurs overnight on early Thursday mornings.

What about e-filing without the Schedule C information and then, after receiving a refund, filing an amended return including Schedule C, by paper if necessary, and paying whatever extra tax is owed?

Same problem. We talked to support and they told us it was an IRS thing where they aren't accepting it yet... Sure feels like TT is dropping the ball and not owning up. And the date it says it will be ready keeps moving back. Already took our money too!

If you believe that the IRS is omnipotent, omnibenevolent and omniscient you most likely also believe in the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the world is flat and that President Reagan was wrong. He said “The top nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' The IRS being that part of government that helps you “render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s.”

Trying to e-file and I keep getting this message:

Window 1 - "Let's make sure everything is accurate. We're close to finishing up to e-file. But we found a couple little things on your federal return that need fixing. Let's take care of these now.

If you're not able to fix these issues, you will return to this screen and you can print the return by selecting File by Mail."

Then I click Fix Federal Return and Window 2 shows this:

"Schedule C (Retail): Wages Paid Schedule C -We're updating employee credits for small businesses and farms. We should have this ready by 02/19/2024-please check back with us then..

Wages Paid Schedule C _______"

The wages are correct and I keep clicking continue and it brings me back to window 1

"Let's make sure everything is accurate. We're close to finishing up to e-file. But we found a couple little things on your federal return that need fixing. Let's take care of these now.
