I had the same problem. I called this morning around 9 am and the problem was so simple. Click on tools- options-firm preparer and double check your PTIN. click on verified your PTIN is correct. BINGO! problem solved. No more errors

I tried this and still not available this is a bit ridiculous

same, mine was already checked

Same here with already being checked.  1040 still says not efile ready???

I finally closed ProSeries and went to start menu and selected "Tools - Repair Updates" under ProSeries 2023.  That fixed the problem.

Very strange that update products in ProSeries would not work....

I tried that but not working.

PTIN checkbox was the problem for me also. Thanks

Select updates - refesh updates- it should work

This worked for me. Thank you

Ugh Thank you. Error message useless

Also, cannot see red checkbox until you scroll down. Dont remember doing this last year but thanks for saving me a call!!!

It may not be enough to 'update installed products', or even update from the Windows start butting. You may need to to hit the 'repair tools update' thing. That worked for me.

THANK YOU!!!  YOU ARE MY HERO!

I checked the box. Its still not updating. I called customer service after waiting for almost an hour the representative phone disconnected. Now the wait time is over an hour. I'm so frustrated at this moment.
