E-File Issue

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. 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."

Your Schedule C may be held up by the release of Form 8881, Employee Credits for Small Businesses and Farms, which is due on February 21, 2024, and applies to any business reporting wages. Update your software the next day (if using TurboTax for Desktop), run Review again. The forms hold should be released.

Any idea why it's still delayed?

Lol me either. But no. I did them online. They have self service like Turno tax. They asked who I filed with last year and when I put turbo tax, they sent a QR code for me to sign into TT and they imported my info from TT to their system. It was very easy. I have small businesses so it cost me $161 because i also opt in to have my federal pay my h&r fees


Interesting, I had no ideal HR had online and it would just transfer over.  I will wait until 3/3/24 per my error code date although after that, I will have to do something else too.  I spoke with our accountant here at my work and he said their software has no issue either, so it is definitely TT.

Thank you for the information

Same issue. Anyone know when this will be resolved? They keep pushing the date and now its showing 3/2/24 to be resolved. so inconvenient.
