Are you trying to transfer 2018 Turddotaxx to 2019 ProSeries?  If so, that's your problem - you need to transfer from the same year (2019 TT to 2019 PS or 2018TT  to 2018PS).  

If you have the correct years, try rebooting your computer.

My accountant is having this issue with my TurboTax Online file downloaded .tax2019.  They have verified they use the correct year and their office reboots their computers on a nightly basis.  Intuit tech support has been no help for me so turning to the community.

The only other bit of info I have is that the accountant said the last time she experienced this error is because the user password protected the file.  I did not password protect the file and my accountant even downloaded the file herself from TurboTax Online (she had my login credentials) and got the same error.

I am not using the free version of TurboTax Online but the paid version.  I have no clue what is going wrong and neither does my accountant.  Any advice?

I am also getting this error.  Frustrating because I even tried to resave on new hard drive and still got

the same error.
