E filing State Error

slickfix — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 01:59:33 GMT

Using Turbotax Downloaded for home and business. E filed my fefderal and said it was accepted.

When trying to E file my state,
($25 fee) and it will not accept my payment, so fails.

Have checked my payment methods on Turbotax website, and they are up to date and correct.

What is the problem? If it doesn't work by next week, I will file on Ohio's website for free. It always works.

Thanks,
Eric

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

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.

Tried all that didn't work. Wanted to finish my taxes so filed my State manually online on Ohios site.

Intuit lost an easy $25 for just sending my file to ohio.

Thanks anyway.
