Problems E-filing Federal and NY State Returns
I filed my 2020 returns using Turbotax.
My computer crashed and I lost access to those files when I had to purchase a new computer.
I used Turbotax again for 2021and because I didn't have the 2020 file, I needed to provide my 2020 AGI in order to file in 2021. When I filed, the Federal and State returns were rejected because my AGI didn't match the 2020 records according to the IRS.
I requested and received a "Tax Return Transcript" for 2020 and the AGI listed on the transcript matched what I reported in Turbotax for 2021.
Since I keep getting rejected and the AGI is correct, I decided to file my Federal return by mail. Turbotax tells me I have to file my NY State return via E-File, however, I now get a message saying I can't file the State return until the Federal is E-Filed.
How Cam I E-File my State return?
