Returns with 0 (zero) WFTC refunds are not eligible for electronic filing

This is the error for filing Washington State taxes questions. Washington does not have an income tax, but does offer WFTC. I don't qualify. Why does TT keep coming up with this error, "Returns with 0 (zero) WFTC refunds are not eligible for electronic filing." 

My printed tax forms all have 'DO NOT FILE", "FORM NOT FINAL".

Why???

There are no smart check errors.

You could remove your Washington State Return and just Efile your Federal return.  TurboTax prepares the WA return automatically if you live there, for those qualifying for the WFTC.

 

For TurboTax Online:

  • Sign in and open your return.
  • Select State Taxes from the left-hand menu.
  • On the "Status of your state returns" screen, click the trash can icon next to the state you want to remove.
  • Confirm the deletion by selecting Yes. 

For TurboTax Desktop:

  • Go to the File menu and select Remove State Return
