After you file

hard to know exactly...maybe if it's still in the middle of being filed, the Save-to-PDF doesn't respond as expected....especially if NC has not yet "Accepted" your NC tax return.

Right when you efile a FED/State set:

...the Fed is transmitted to the IRS first...the State is just sitting.

.....ONLY AFTER the IRS "Accepts" the federal tax filing, only then the State is actually transmitted.

..........then you have to wait for the state to actually be accepted.

(IF the Fed is Rejected...then the NC state forms are not even sent)

_______

So if you just filed, your tax file may be in the middle of it all.

I wouldn't worry too much yet...If NC ends up rejecting, you can always re-efile sometime next week...no rush.

___________

Open your tax return.

.....go up to the File menu and select "File"

......form the drop-down menu select "Electronic Filing"

.........from the next drop-down select:   "Show Electronic Filing Staus History"

That will show you where things stand right now.

Don't try to re-e-file.

Once the full process is completed, if the Fed is rejected...you can correct whatever needs to be corrected (After running a software update), and then re-e-file whichever form sets need to be re-e-filed.

The Federal forms must be accepted before the State forms can be actually be sent.

IF both sets are e-filed at the same time, TTX knows to wait for the IRS response before sending in the state forms.
