Thank you for the response but I think the whole point of my issue is being missed here. The TurboTax Business desktop software is not letting me get to the step-by-step interview questions so that I can complete the Iowa return to print and mail; however, I will use TurboTax to efile the Federal return. So, the point is that I "do" want to utilize the federal online filing system, but TurboTax says it does not support the associated/required Iowa efile along with the federal efile and just kicks me out of the step-by-step process to finish the Iowa return (to be printed).
As I work around, I went ahead and efiled the Federal return. It looks like I can manually figure out how to prep the Iowa forms without the support of the step-by-step instructions. However, clearly something is not working correctly here. I hope TurboTax provides the required efile support next year otherwise it's time to find a new software provider.
