First try using zero as the AGI. If zero does not work then you will need to print, sign and mail your returns---both returns will have to be mailed. A state return cannot be e-filed unless the federal return has been successfully e-filed and accepted.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
You are not paying an extra fee to e-file. Your online TurboTax fees are for using the software. There is not a fee to e-file. Your online TT fee is the same whether you e-file or mail it in an envelope.
If you transfer your 2023 return to a 2024 return next year it should transfer the AGI for you so that you can e-file next year.
