It can be a bit stressful but it was a similar situation last year as well. Just to recap, for those of you trying to efile your partnership return via turbo tax business, NY state return is not going to work until 3/10 or 3/11 based on the eFile ready date for NYS. That date is listed as 3/10 as of today. You can file your federal separately in turbo tax and that should go through and wait until 3/10, 3/11 to file NYS parnership. The problem here is Turbo Tax needs to do a much, much better job of displaying an error msg that clearly indicates the problem and inform the users to just wait until the ready date for efile. The generic error msg only confuses users and creates unnecessary stress and makes the user think they did something wrong. This is unacceptable for Turbo Tax and a sloppy job with software at best.
