This exact error from turbo tax happened to me. The fix : 1st- go to your forms and select the fed. dividend form--I only had one div. form from 'Financial Services...' which I deleted that name and put in 'fidelity' only. Then I went back to state e-file and it transmitted the return!! It e-filed the state return after I finally figured out that it was the dividend form with" too many characters ". I changed the payer name to a shorter name. Right or wrong it worked. It was turbo taxes fault because it 'auto-filled' that "too many characters" name!! Mike
