Filed federal but state wouldn't go through, says transmission not available and all forms are available. Tried clearing cache everywhere, why is it saying this?

If the e-filed federal tax return has not been accepted by the IRS and you are e-filing the state return after e-filing the federal then you will get this message.

Okay thank you hopefully that's the issue then! I'll wait to file once federal is accepted.

I don't think that is the issue, I e-filed my federal and it has already been accepted, and when I try to file my state, I receive the same message, so I don't think it has to do with anything with your federal being accepted.

I'm having the same issue. I've never had an issue e-Filing my state taxes before. If somebody finds a resolution I would love to hear it. I really don't want to have to mail my taxes if at all possible.

I spoke with someone at turbo tax today about this and was told that a lot of state forms have still not been cleared/updated/or approved for submission through the software yet and she was confused as well as their being a date to efile but forms are still being worked on/approved in the system. She also said that most states are probably following the federal accepting date of Jan 27th and that is a good date to attempt again because then the state forms will be updated and approved with the software for efiling/transmitting. But she did say it's nothing on our (the filers) end at this time is on the software and forms end.

Same issue... ive been trying 2-3 times a week to resubmit my state taxes since Jan 4th. Its now march 6th and tried again today. Called the hit line and walked through this for over a half hour again. Today I was told that there's nothing more they can do. So, im basically just OUT of my state taxes because turbo tax cant get their Sh** together! Last time I EVER use this crap service!

Sounds like something got stuck. You can try these things and then resubmit:

Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu.
Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website.
Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms.
Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit."
Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.

Most TurboTax errors happen because the browser is trying to use an old "session" from a previous visit. By clearing the cache or using Incognito mode, you force the browser to establish a brand-new, secure connection with the Intuit servers.
