The pending status means that your state return hasn't been accepted or rejected yet. It's not unusual for the state return to be in a pending status after the federal has been accepted.  Because of the deadline, there's a backlog.     Please see the TurboTax article Why is my state e-file still pending?

After calling support, this is a way for them to use my credit card on file and pay for the state filing fee. However, since I had already filed the federal return, there was no way to just file the state return. Attempting to file both the fed and state returns at the same time returned a duplicate error. I needed to mail in the state return.   I still don't know why the payment blocking happened in the first place.

Still didn't work.  No amount of deleting and entering anew gets me through the review so that TurboTax doesn't think there's something wrong.  All info has been entered, the interview completed, this isn't earned income, etc.  But still same error in TurboTax.. what to do???

You are being asked to provide your modified adjusted gross income less exemptions for your SD-100, Line 5. As you can see below, this is your modified gross income less (formula for that is below) less your exemption amount (which flows from your Ohio IT 1040, Line 4).    **Your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is your Ohio adjusted gross income (Ohio IT 1040, line 3) plus your business income deduction (Ohio Schedule of Adjustments line 12). If you did not take a business income deduction, your modified adjusted gross income matches your Ohio adjusted gross income.     @m-davis-21 

Your income likely qualifies as investment income on Schedule E.   In TurboTax Premium Online, follow these steps.   Down the left side of the screen, click Federal. Down the left side of the screen, click on Wages & income. Click to the right of Rentals, Royalties, and Farm. Click to the right of Rental Properties and Royalties. At the screen Your 2024 rentals and royalties summary, select Add another rental or royalty. At the screen What are you here to report, select Royalty.  Click Continue. Establish the royalty activity. Report the income at the screen Let's enter the income for royalty. Select Form 1099-MISC to report the royalty income. The investment income derives from property that you own.  This includes natural resources extracted from your property by a third party who leases your property, as well as royalties from intellectual property that you didn't create yourself.    Investment income includes amounts received from oil, gas or mineral properties when natural resources are extracted from your property.  These royalties are based on units, such as barrels, tons, etc. and are paid to you by a person or company that leases the property from you.  You may be eligible for a depletion allowance.  

I finally got rid of the Turbotax warnings I was getting. Here's what I did.   I was getting Turbotax errors (not Netfile errors) saying: The amount of FOREIGN capital gains in Box 52 plus boxes 54 and 56 can’t be more than TOTAL capital gains in box 52.  Similar message for boxes 52, 55, and 57.   And another error to the effect of: The sum of capital gains in boxes 52 and 53 must equal the total capital gains in box 21.   I had 4 T3s and did not know which had the problem. I deleted the T3s I had entered, one by one, until the warnings went away. That meant deleting 3 of them.  Then I re-entered them one by one, checking for warnings each time.   When typing in the T3 info, I did not type anything into the box 21 fields. I went to the ‘Other Boxes’ page and entered my amounts in boxes 52 to 57 as supplied on the form. I generally entered the same amounts twice: once under Foreign capital gains and once under Total capital gains.  When I went back to the first page, Turbotax had usually filled in the box 21 numbers, for both Foreign and Total capital gains.  The Turbotax errors went away.   I do not know if I would get any Netfile errors because I am not ready to submit. I don’t trust that Turbotax hasn’t corrupted my numbers in the background on my return, so I am going to re-enter the whole return again.  Thank you, Turbotax. After 15+ years of using you, I won’t be using you again.

To complete and file a 2023 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2023 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/   A 2023 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.

"income tax withholding and refundable credits will be at least 100% of the tax" This rule applies to withholding only, not estimated tax payments.   Your action is sufficient if your 2024 AGI was below $150,000. Otherwise the prior years tax must be multipled by 1.10   (110%)   "satisfy the IRS rule that estimates are not required if you have paid in 100% of your 2024 tax." Unfortunately, this is not the whole story.   @tovaface
