As I mentioned above, I was suspicious it might have been a zero-income return. Why was it zero--did you have foreign earned income and used the exclusion for all the income? TurboTax will not let you efile or print a zero-income return.
If you mail the Federal return, you cannot efile the NY state return. You can only efile a state return if the Federal return is either efiled at the same time or has been efiled earlier and accepted.
I'm not a tax person, just a fellow user, but have seen others get around this dilemma in a couple of ways. The easiest way is by entering $1 in interest income in the interest section so that it's no longer a zero-income return, then it should let you efile or print. I have seen another alternative is to enter $1 in the category "other income" and labeling it as "in order to efile."
