The North Carolina Individual Income Tax Return Form D-400 is not yet available for e-filing.  It is estimated to be available on 02/24/2022

Go to this TurboTax website for North Carolina state forms availability - https://care-cdn.prodsupportsite.a.intuit.com/forms-availability/turbotax_nc_online_individual.html

If you want to e-file your federal tax return now then change how you file the NC state return.  This assumes that all of the forms and schedules included in your federal tax return are available for e-filing.

If using the TurboTax online editions click on File on the left side of the online program screen.  On Step 3 of the File section click on Start or Revisit.  Select the button File by Mail.  Then change the filing status of the state return.

After the federal return is e-filed and accepted by the IRS you can e-file the state return when it is available for e-filing.  Just use the same procedure and change the state return back to e-filing.

Okay so I figured it out, but I have good news and bad news. Bad news, NC is negotiating a contract with Turbo tax but so far their date to E-file in NC is February 24th. Good news, YOU CAN STILL FILE YOUR FEDERAL, BUT YOU HAVE TO COME BACK TO FILE YOUR STATE. I literally just went back and filed my federal and it went through. Keep in mind if you don't file your state you will be penalized, but who wants to leave money out there or who wants to pay more money back, either way you have to come back and file your STATE RETURN. Here are the articles I found showing the information about the STATE RETURN delay and dates and such. Hope this helps everyone.

Please don't forget to go back on 2/24/2022 to do the state taxes.

My federal return was submitted and accept January 27th and it said NC wasn’t accepting returns until February 12th. Logged in today to file my state, and got the same error message other are reporting here. Is it a Turbo Tax issue or a NC issue?

Some NC forms (including the main form D-400) are not yet finalized and available for efiling.   Projected availability date is 2/24/2022, according to the availability tables:

State Forms Availability Table:
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/forms/help/state-forms-availability-table-for-turbotax-individual-...

If you wish, you can efile the Federal return now (if all your Fed forms are available) and efile the NC state return later.  To do that, you would need to temporarily change the filing method for the state return and tell TurboTax that you intend to "mail" the state return.  Then when the state forms are available you can switch the method back to efile.

It is now 2/13/2022 and I am getting this same error message.  So I assume that I have to save this tax return and return later to file.  What sense does that make.  But I can guarantee you. They have already taken my money for the upgrade and for the State money that I had to pay back.

Even if you received an email saying otherwise, some NC forms (including the main form D-400) are not yet finalized and available for efiling, only for printing.   Projected availability date for efiling is 2/24/2022, according to the availability tables:

Only the federal efile is available right now.  NC hasnt made STATE return efile available yet
