Thank you for your help, JulieS!
I succeeded in filing my taxes, but I needed to file Fed and NY separately. I also needed to remove the option to schedule quarterly estimated NY tax payments with my return, and, disable my VPN while transmitting the NY tax return. Mission accomplished! (I provided these details to, hopefully, alert other filers who may experience similar quirks with their returns.)
My 2023 Tax document folder goes to the file cabinet now! Another tax year in the books.
