I tried to use Net File but the program keeps telling me that my company name is incorrect . There is nothing wrong with my company name. Now I cannot file electronicaly

There is nothing wrong with my company name on the T2125C1.  But the TurboTx keeps telling me that it is incorrect or that it has symbols it should not have.  And that is keeping me from filing my return electronically.  It will not accept an ignore prompt.

How do I get around this to file electronically?
