Error when transmitting e-file for RI Tax Year 2021

LM517o — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 06:25:47 GMT

When trying to transmit e-file of RI 2021 tax return, I get Error message 'Tax Year 2021 Transmissions are not available. TurboTax is not ready to process Tax Year 2021 for the return'. I initially tried to transmit the Federal, MA and RI tax returns together and received this message.

I was able to transmit the Federal and MA tax returns individually. I've deleted Cookies and restarted the computer, but still encounter this error. It says to check for updates. The latest updates were installed prior to beginning the tax returns.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I've got the same problem. Is it a RI state return problem?

Yes, the error occurred when trying to transmit a RI tax return. I did some research online and found that RI will accept transmission of tax returns beginning on February 12, 2022.

I got the same message on my home & business downloaded copy, however I was able to file my daughters return on the Turbo Tax Free edition this morning. Guess my son will have to wait!

Thank you very much for posting this! It was driving nuts trying to figure out why it wouldn't transmit.

The FED and the state of MA went off as they normally would, but RI won't transmit.

Just got off the phone with an agent. Delete the State tax form and try again. After I deleted it with the agent Federal went through fine. I'll have to file State tax later. Hope this helps ya'll too!

When will TurboTax be ready to accept NC forms?

In the case of RI, it wasn't a TurboTax issue, it was the state not ready to accept them.

I have no idea with NC, but it sounds the same.

Do you have to contact an agent to delete it?
