I'm trying to e file my 2021 Federal and Rhode Island State tax. I'm getting the below message: "The Intuit Electronic Filing System is having difficulty recognizing the data in the return you are sending. Tax Year 2021 transmissions are not available - Turbo Tax is not ready to process Tax Year 2021 for this return".

I thought efile opened on January 24, 2022. I've checked my software for updates as well. Are we not able to efile yet for tax year 2021?

I am getting this error when e-filing

We could not e-file your return for the following reason:

Tax Year 2021 transmissions are not available.

No, you should be able to transmit, the problem lies with the IRS rejecting just about everyone. Try entering zero and see if that works. We are all having issues, IRS suggest mail in the return.
