My return was rejected because of a flaw in TurboTax, I thought I'd share in case it affects anyone else. Once corrected the return was accepted.
My estimated tax payments were greater than the tax due, so I have a refund. TT nonetheless completed and filed form 2210 - Underpayment of Estimated Tax, with the box "requesting a waiver' checked. IRS rejected this because the required explanation was not attached. The TT / IRS error message
The TT support forum says to delete the form but it can't be deleted - TT just generates a new one. The only thing that worked for me was to open the "step by step" to calculate a penalty and input all 2017 values with "0".
So, even though my estimated tax was greater than the tax due, I had to force TurboTax to calculate the underpayment penalty, then input bogus numbers for the previous year amounts.
