In my case it fetched a 1099 from some remote source, and the text in one of the fields on the 1099 was automatically entered into a field on my return. The "debugger" identified that the field contained too many characters and would not let me edit the field or submit the return to NY so I had to print it. This results in a $50 failure to comply with the e-file-mandate penalty from NY. For my IL return it would not allow me to e-file b/c I didn't have the PIN which is assigned the first year you file. However the system's workflow entered an infinite loop and I had to just abandon and click "print return" order to continue. > Turbotax will not make mistakes regarding the business logic of the forms. I do not think this is true. It will let you enter arbitrary values in fields on the form that you should not have edited. It does not re-check and delete unnecessary entries from the forms either, though in some cases these problems trip up the debugger and it forces you to delete the return and start over. If the forms had truly thorough input validation it would be a very confidence-inspiring product to use.
