I just made a successful transmission! I decided to eliminate NY estimated tax payments I set up with turbotax and see what would happen, and it worked! I set up the payments directly with NYS website instead, and it was no big deal. I don't know if this applies to people with estimated tax set up in other states, but if they don't want to keep wondering what the error messages mean any longer, try what I did. Good luck!
I guess I could have waited for Turbotax to be ready to process the NY estimated tax payments, but the wait would have been so painful!
