I printed and mailed my Federal return with a completed W7. Last week I received my spouse's ITIN and wanted to e-file our State return. On the second to last page of TurboTax's submission process, it asked me which returns I wanted to transmit. I selected State only! TurboTax is telling me both returns were e-filed. I really hope this is only an error with TurboTax's UI and will not delay our Federal return. I did not ask TurboTax to e-file our Federal return. TurboTax should know that I told it to file our Federal return by mail.<BR /><BR />Has anyone else run into this issue? I can not contact their support until the weekday. Thank you very much.</P> Tue, 24 Feb 2026 07:11:50 GMT Nate47 2026-02-24T07:11:50Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/why-did-turbotax-e-file-my-federal-return-when-i-selected-only-to-e-file-my-state-return/01/3081999#M1125449 <P>This year I had to file a W7 to get an ITIN for my non-resident spouse.

You must have made a choice in the program that is different than the choice you thought you were making.</P> Sat, 05 Aug 2023 11:40:05 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-why-did-turbotax-e-file-my-federal-return-when-i-selected-only-to-e-file-my-state-return/01/3082001#M1125450 Opus 17 2023-08-05T11:40:05Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-why-did-turbotax-e-file-my-federal-return-when-i-selected-only-to-e-file-my-state-return/01/3082018#M1125461 <P>Thank you for this information. I hope it won't delay our return.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Perhaps the second-to-last choice before transmitting your tax returns was related to viewing them? I recall there were two checkboxes, and I unchecked the federal tax return box.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Best regards</P> Sat, 05 Aug 2023 15:09:43 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-why-did-turbotax-e-file-my-federal-return-when-i-selected-only-to-e-file-my-state-return/01/3082018#M1125461 Nate47 2023-08-05T15:09:43Z
