With much frustration, I just mailed our Iowa tax return this morning after attempts to efile failed. Apparently, some issue with IA Form 148 scuttles the process even though on the Iowa Dept. of Revenue site, TurboTax is shown as an approved software and this particular form is included with efile capablility. This resulted in the time and cost associated with printing/copying and mailling the Iowa return along with necessary accompany documentation, including the the Federal return and all 1099's/W-2's. Why did I buy TurboTax if not to avoid this very issue? I have been using Turbo Tax for well more than 20 years. During that time, the weakest element has always been state tax; apparently, that has not changed.
