TurboTax can not, and will not submit any paperwork to any taxing authority on behalf of any tax filer for any reason. There are no exceptions. If you submitted your return electronically and you have the e-mail proving that the state accepted it, then simply print out your tax return and mail it to the state along with your W-2's and a copy of the e-mail proving that the state accepted it before the filing deadline. That will cancel out any late filing fees that would otherwise be assessed.
When you mail the return to the state, make sure you send it certified mail, return receipt *REQUIRED* (not requested). That will be your only proof that the state actually physically received what you mail to them. Also make sure you mail it to the correct address. If you mail a state return to the IRS, or if you mail your federal return to the state, then it just goes straight to the shredder. Remember, when dealing with taxes there are three golden rules.
- You are guilty until proven innocent.
- The burden of proof is on the accused (that's you!) and not the accuser.
- If it's not in writing, then it did not occur.
