I my particular case, i found the reason and managed to fix the issue and efiled successfully for both Federal and NY State.
I printed the complete tax return to a PDF for comparison. Saved a backup copy of my TT file. I then started from the beginning as a new return and imported as little as possible from last year's return...
in any case, i did a stare and compare and found out that TT was counting my NYS withholding twice in one of the W2s!. Not sure how that happened. suffice to say, my refund was a lot less, but I managed to efile my returns and probably saved myself an audit from the NYS Fiance Dep!
