Registered Domestic Partnership - e-filing does NOT work

Last year, I followed TT's guidance which was built into TT's software: one IRS e-filing (but no State) each for my partner and myself, then build another IRS report that feeds into the State report, and e-file the State report but not the IRS report.  This year, no problem with e-filing the two IRS report, but TT has taken away the ability to "e-file for the State while not e-filing for the IRS"; and forgot to notify its customers, or to train their "tax experts" who were a bit dumbfounded when I called to report the problem; and also TT took away their RDP Guidance from the software - it was there a couple of months ago, but it's now gone.  Therefore, the ONLY way that TT is telling me is to "file for the State on Paper" - in this day and age of everything going electronic?  Why?  And why not find work-arounds that would help clients who are 5 minutes away from being done, just need to e-file - and now need to print and mail, without knowing whether to also include the IRS report - and which report, the Mock one or the two reports previously e-filed?  I just don't get it.  Hours to print the report.
