Unable to efile NY return

Turbo tax message received unable to file NY State return due to empty box (1) on my 1099-G from the NY State Department of Labor !!!  I filed an extension before printing out my return and sending  pending answers to these questions:

1. Is there any way to efile my NY return  via Turbo Tax (correct a 1099-G bug ?? )

2. If I mail, does my refund still get direct deposited ?
3. Do I need to sign / print SSN on every tax return page as well as adding the 1099-G ??

Please advise.. never had turbo tax issues in past and this year seemed extra glitchy ... Thanks for help...
