I am getting an error when I try to efile that say I have an error in my return but I do not. I have run the final review several times and it shows not errors. Does anyone know how to fix this? I can't get through to technical service.

Did you do the new step required this year - verify your PTIN?   Tools>Options>Firm/Preparer Info    look for the pink box near your PTIN#


Yep - this is the answer.  It's new this year - you have to check the box indicating your PTIN is correct (verified).  Ran into this a couple weeks ago.  Try it - I bet it solves your problem.  I spent hours with customer support before I found someone who knew about it.

Hit the error button as well as the review button.. Check both the federal and the state..If you are sure that there are no errors in the return, then you may want to disable the error conversion checkbox... Just my opinion

Have you been able to successfully e-file other returns besides this one?

No.  I tried to file one and it rejected because of expired drivers liscense, then I tried three more and they all had this error message.  Maybe I can get someone in technical service tomorrow.
