I've reviewed my federal return input numerous times looking for a toggle or check box I may have inadvertedly selected, but have found none. I think this is an obvious flaw in the KY software that is preventing the state return from being e-filed. Turbo Tax needs to have their software engineers review the KY state software to come up with a solution to resolving this issue.</P> Sat, 05 Feb 2022 14:16:23 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-i-am-getting-an-error-for-efile-with-my-ky-state-return-because-the-return-requires-ssn-or-ein/01/2448235#M873668 PerfectionistPete01 2022-02-05T14:16:23Z Re: I am getting an error for efile with my KY state return because the return requires SSN or EI... https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-i-am-getting-an-error-for-efile-with-my-ky-state-return-because-the-return-requires-ssn-or-ei/01/2448436#M873743 <P><SPAN style="font-size:14px"><SPAN style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">This is a known issue with Kentucky state returns that we are working to resolve.
