I am having this same trouble. Return status does not acknowledge that I submitted my return. It asks me if I am sure a want to close the return if I haven’t submit. When I try to submit it says there are duplicate submissions. I was going to try and deduct my cost of State electronic filing from refund when I saw how long the delay was I changed it to used a credit card. It wasn’t clear whether it would deduct from federal or state refund and there was a state processing fee for deducting the cost from the refund. The fee was larger than the electron filing cost.
