E-File Transmission Error

robiticus — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 06:12:42 GMT

When I click submit to E-file, I get the following message:

We could not e-file your return for the following reason:

Tax Year 2021 transmissions are not available.

I know that I was waiting on NC to release a certain form, but I got the confirmation from TurboTax that this form is available. So I don't know what the issue is.

TurboTax is aware of the problem and is working on a fix.

This is the email I received yesterday.

That is a poorly worded email which should have indicated the Form D-400 was available for printing and mailing only.

Thanks for the clarification. Will there be an updated email to let me know when this form is avaiable for e-file?

If you want to e-file your federal tax return now then change how you file the NC state return. This assumes that all of the forms and schedules included in your federal tax return are available for e-filing.

If using the TurboTax online editions click on File on the left side of the online program screen. On Step 3 of the File section click on Start or Revisit. Select the button File by Mail. Then change the filing status of the state return.

After the federal return is e-filed and accepted by the IRS you can e-file the state return when it is available for e-filing. Just use the same procedure and change the state return back to e-filing.
