The description for the workaround above is using the TurboTax desktop version. If you are in the TurboTax online version, you will not have a forms mode.
If this is in your Maryland tax return, our team is working to resolve an error message in some Maryland state returns that give an error message about Form 8582 needing an update, even if there are no passive losses to report.

Notifications Maryland Form 8582 error
If the federal forms are all finalized and it is ready to e-file, you can choose to file just the federal return at this time and have all the TurboTax fees taken out of the federal return, then come back when Maryland is ready and then e-file that return.
- When you get to the Here are your filing options screen
- Select Change next to your state return
- On the the Change filing method screen
- Select I'm not ready to file
- Click Save
Note, if you don't e-file them together, you do have to wait until the federal is accepted before you can e-file the state. Sometimes this takes a day or even two.
Here is a TurboTax Help article with directions for when you return to file your state return.
