This error normally appears when there are forms in your return that are not ready for e-filing.  You might try restarting the review and then filing steps and take note of any messages about forms not ready.  You could also continue the filing process and try just e-filing the Federal returns, if it is your state you are working on now. You of course would then need to check back later to complete e-filing the returns or print and mail them if you wish.

Thank you for this info. Unfortunately there is no forms that aren't ready. My State return is complete & ready to e-file but for whatever reason it won't let me. I filed my Federal & was hoping if I did them separately this would fix the issue but unfortunately it hasn't. I'm trying to avoid having to mail in my State return as I'm out of the country for the foreseeable future. I'm not sure if you have any other suggestions that might help? Thanks again.

There is some error in your state taxes that TurboTax cannot identify and resolve.  Please delete your state taxes and do them over again.  Here are some directions to follow.

Great, thank you this was really helpful.  I've now deleted my State return & redone it but now Turbo Tax is wanting to charge me a fee again. I've already paid the first time around. I'm concerned that if I pay again & then I can't e-file I will have wasted money. If anyone has insight into this it would be super helpful! Thanks again.
