This was reported yesterday by a Syracuse TV station:

(WETM) – If you use Intuit “Turbo Tax” to file your New York State tax return, you know that it can’t be filed right now. That’s because TurboTax needs a patch to accurately calculate NY taxes after last year’s “Inflation Refund” checks issued by the state. Intuit, which owns Turbo Tax, says the fix should be installed by February 4.  An 18 News Digital user sent us the notice he received from TurboTax after it couldn’t file his taxes right now

18 News Digital reached out to Intuit for comment, and got back this information: “Recently, an issue related to New York’s Inflation Refund Checks caused select New York state tax returns to not be accepted. We have identified the issue, and a fix is expected to be implemented by Wednesday, February 4. We are actively coordinating with the state of New York and are communicating directly with any filer impacted to ensure taxpayers in the state of New York can file their taxes as soon as possible with complete confidence that they are getting their maximum refund, guaranteed.”

Turbo Tax is one of the most popular tax preparing software programs, with an estimated 42-45 million people using it yearly.
