Lee B Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 1. Reboot your computer to clear your printer cache. 2. Hold down your ctrl key and press F5 to clear your browser history. 3. If you have a security suite turn it off, it uses a lot of RAM. 4, Run CCleaner or a similar program to clear out any garbage 5. Use your task manager to minimize any programs running in the background Cross your fingers and try again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee B Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 You don't say, but if this is happening while trying to efile, not all states have to be piggybacked with the federal return. Unselect those states that can be efiled independently, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 If the suggestions provided don't help, buy a better computer with 16G or 32G of RAM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%. My first impression was: "too little RAM." RAM is cheap. Nothing less than 16G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee B Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Perhaps it depends on how many programs you keep running in the background and whether you are using a big security suite. I have always done well with 8 Gigs of RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Keep Task Manager open and see how much memory it's using. I also have LAA installed and have gotten it up to 4GB before. Did you remember to add ATX 2018 to LAA? You have to add the new years when you install ATX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wtyler Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 I have 64gig of ram and 16 intel 3.2 processors. Still happens to me on 2021 program. Going to try the solution from cbslee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanmcq Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 It happens to me too, especially if I try to open a second return. I shut down everything and reboot my computer. Clears out all the crap. ATX still accumulates RAM usage so if you keep your computer on for days, it adds up and eventually shuts the program down. A big file can make it happen faster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLJEANNE Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Ugh, I had one of those a few years back. I forget how many states, but I could work on it, but not print. Try to print, it crashes. Sadly, I don't recall for sure my solution, other than making sure everything else was shutdown, and restarting ATX only to work on that return. My take away was, dump the client (there were other reasons) and never have another one with so many states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
