VolvoGirl, what about the situation where a 68 year old taxpayer rolls over $150,000 in a 401K to an IRA in 2018.  The contract is that the whole amount is invested by the fiduciary into an investment that pays $6,000 per year in distributions described as "interest on investment."  Initially, the distributions are made regularly but then they stop in the year that the IRA purchaser is required to take an RMD.  But there is no money left in the investment and he does not get the RMD.  The fiduciary sends emails to investors makes a very circular argument that the investment will come back but a sober reading makes it clear that the investment is bankrupt.  Meanwhile, the taxpayer is subject to penalties because there is no way to take an RMD.  As time goes on, it is clear there is no money left in the IRA.  How can the taxpayer obtain abatement of the penalties the IRS has imposed?

I will wait a few days Just be sure your Tax Home in TurboTax says the Missouri return was "Accepted."    If you just efiled yesterday, it may still say "Pending."    Once it changes to "Accepted" (if not already), then that should mean Missouri received it and agreed to start processing it, but it will take a few days to show up in their tracker.

You should get a message.  If you really only used 4 (one message you wrote said 4, and in the last one said "5 with no issue", so I assumed you efiled 5.   There are occasional posts from some people who didn't get all of their 5 for some reason, or for whom a rejection counted as 1 of the 5.   You can try in the morning and see what happens.   Otherwise, if you still can't transmit in the morning, here's how you can reach TurboTax Support if you need additional help.   They open at 5AM Pacific. https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/contact/
