I ended up filing my federal return with TurboTax, and then using the State of Alabama's "My Alabama Taxes" (MAT) on-line system to file my Alabama return. Yes, I had to input data again into the MAT on-line application--but it was free to use and my return was accepted by the state <24 hours after I submitted it on-line. This may not work for everyone, but it was a good choice for me.
