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?

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.

Same here in NC today. I've already paid for everything, just trying to transmit. I'm not sure why it even offers to let you transmit if it's not going to let you. I tried three times.

I tried to go back and print, but it also says my state returns aren't available to print and that e-file is the most efficient manner, which I totally agree with, when it will actually go through. I've been e-filing for several years, and usually within the first two weeks of February.

I am having the same issue here in NC. Everything is filled out fully. First time it was saying return was not ready and I would be notified. Now it is saying tax year 2021 transmissions are not available. Please help! I did turbo because last year I used it and it was so simple. I don't have a lot of info to add so it is not a complicated process. But now it is not going through…extremely frustrating.

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:

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.

If you need to check on Federal forms:
