If the efile of my state return has been rejected due to the Federal 1099R entry remove any commas or periods in the line 2 name field for the Payer, how can I fix that?

Description of error:
Data in the return is missing or invalid. Please double check your entries.
What needs to be done:
On the Federal 1099R entry remove any commas or periods in the line 2 name field for the Payer. When these characters have been removed you may re-transmit for E-File.

This was not at all helpful since it was my state return that was rejected and the federal return, where I had entered the 1099-R information, had already been filed and accepted. How could I possibly then had gone back and made changes? Turbotax should have automatically made those changes for me. I am extremely dissatisfied that I had to go through the motions repeatedly and ended up sending my return by mail.

Go back to your 1099-R entries and check the second Name entry for the payer.  Correct or remove if needed.
