@macuser_22 It's very aggravating to hear these "Champs" make comments that push the blame back to the taxpayer, the state government or the federal government. They are not the problems. TurboTax is the problem. At minimum it's a deceptive business practice (I believe it's fraudulent) to accept payment on a service that they don't provide prior to letting you know that they don't provide it, then don't offer to give your money back. This forum should remove your title, which suggests that you are a trusted authority, when you and @DoninGA try to derail the conversation by providing false guidance.
1) Nice try on adding the qualifier "... does not support e-fileing [sic] state without the Federal also e-filed and accepted first." Curious to see what new qualifier you come up with next. By the way, my federal e-filed return WAS accepted first, so that doesn't apply to me, and I'm assuming several others here.
2) Don't think it's because it was a complicated return, because all we did was our w-2 and a standard deduction ... actually much more simple than last year's NYS return that was successfully e-filed.
3) I happen to have several very good friends at the NYS Department of Tax, including a recent Commissioner. So don't try to tell me that they are the problem here.
4) TurboTax could fix this by giving refunds to all those who tried to efile NYS returns, post a public apology and fix the problem that's on their end. It would save everyone time and money. This isn't going to turn out well for them if the AG starts digging around.
