You may try deleting the state so you can e-file the amended federal return. Follow these steps in TurboTax for Desktop:
- Open the amended return and save as "Copy-FederalAmended."
- Open the Copy-FederalAmended return.
- Go to File in the main menu (black bar at the top of the screen) and choose Remove State Return.
- Choose the state return and click Remove. Confirm.
- Review the amended return to be sure the changes you entered for the federal return are correct.
- Save the file.
- Go to Federal >> Review to confirm no Smart Check errors.
- Go to File >> File Return and submit e-file.
- Open the amended return, go to State Taxes.
- Continue through the state interview to confirm your changes.
- Go to File >> File Return and choose to e-file your state return only.
- If you still receive the state e-file error, choose to file the state return only by mail so you can print the return.
You may need to start with your original return, if TurboTax won't let you remove the state after you started the amended return.
