Our TurboTax application has stopped working properly. It rarely happens; we're sorry it happened when you were using it.

I tried to call. Quoted my Incident #. Was told by the automated recording that wait time would be between 20-25 minutes. I was already waiting for 27 mins, listening to jazz music, and when the music stopped, I thought I could finally speak to an agent. But no, the line got disconnected!!! I tried again but wait time would be 30 mins so I hang up. Can't waste another 30 mins for nothing. This is really frustrating. Is there a better time to call?

I’m having the same problem in 2023 for 2022 tax filing using the online version. I was just wondering how did you manage to solve this issue? Thanks a lot 🙂

Tried. Same issue. I am able to log in to where I see the return I worked on. When I click on it, the page starts to load then goes to the "application not working page." The same happens if I copy it and try to open it. Same thing on my phone.

Are you using the app or the full Online software? Do you have any pop up blockers set up that could be turned off?

Now to find out what happened since then.... Could you start the steps over from the beginning?

  1. Make sure there is no pop up blockers set up.
  2. Turn off virus protectors.
  3. Clear cache/cookies on Google Chrome.
  4. Sign out of account.
  5. Restart computer.
  6. Use Google Chrome.
  7. Use our 2023 TurboTax Online link.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi, I called last night and the representative said my file might be corrupted. Can you escalate it?

I don't use Windows. I called and was told I have to do the return all over again. Really frustrating. Not sure I will continue with Turbotax after this experience. Two days of work and one hour over the phone with live help.. gone.

Did you ask for an escalation as a we do not see a call on file for today and an escalation is required to investigate this issue for you.

Yes I did request an escalation and was told even if they escalate they can't do anything about it. I called today and two nights ago. Can you help do something about this? Thank you.

I'm looking for help with my Canadian turbotax file. I've used it via the website previously with no issues, just logging into the website.

If you see the thread above, my return won't open once I log in. I get a puppy dog error page. Really frustrating as it's 2 days work plus over an hour on the phone with an agent.

@lyd018 

 

We apologize for the inconvenience.

 

We're not able to access your return here in community, so if phone support says the file is corrupted and can't be recovered, then unfortunately, you would need to start your return over.
