Thank you, Cass. I understand that to be the case, but since I tried to efile both federal and state taxes at the same time, I get hit with the TurboTax state filing fee. State is rejected if federal is rejected, so I have to mail both returns. This is where TurboTax should reimburse me for the state filing fee. Who do I need to contact to discuss this. I also feel that since this is a known issue, there should be a warning that this can happen, with the suggestion that if the spouse passed away before filing (which is a question answered while preparing the returns) that we try federal only first. This is where I feel TurboTax software should be fixed. Especially after I see so many people with the same issue.
