Ohio does not have its forms ready. You just need to wait awhile in order to e-file Ohio. And.....a state return cannot be accepted until the IRS accepts your federal return. The IRS will not begin to accept/reject federal returns until January 29. So......even if you could file OH now, it would go nowhere except a server to wait.

s. Click Review to see if you are missing some forms needed in order to e-file.

Many federal and state forms are not yet available. Check here for form availability. The dates are subject to change.

Tax form availability tool,

No hurry to e-file since the IRS will not begin to accept/reject 2023 e-files until January 29. And….a state return cannot be accepted until after the IRS accepts your federal return.

If you are using Turbotax Online, the cost for the state module includes preparation and e-filing, and e-filing is not guaranteed, due to each taxpayer's circumstances being different. There are no refunds if you can't e-file your state return with Turbotax Online.

If you are using Turbotax Desktop edition, there is indeed an extra fee for state e-filing. You would have to call customer support for a refund, no one on this board has access to your account. However, as pointed out, I think you are just too early, and even if you called customer support, they would probably tell you to wait. If you still can't e-file your state return by February 15, you can print and mail, and call for a refund. If you are impatient and try to mail your return without waiting, they might authorize a refund, but I don't know for sure.
