What are you doing?

You fixed TurboTax regarding some issue on your side with employee stock options (I had no such options so this error in TurboTax did not effect me except that both EFiles got rejected because the Fed wanted everyone to start over with repaired TurboTax) but you did not change the way it deals with EFiling to allow people to EFile state when Fed is already EFiled.

TurboTax insists that I check the box to EFile the Fed at the same time, but because I already EFiled the Fed forms some time ago, there is no box.

Further, you had not better charge me a second time for EFiling State. This was your error not mine. This all have been fixed by now. How the heck am I supposed to EFile State when TurboTax will not let me.

TurboTax is aware of and investigating the issue with not being able to e-file the state after e-filing the federal. You will not be charged to e-file again. Here is an updated article:

Unable to e-file state after e-filing federal

March 23, 2022 - Just know that if you are a first time e-filer for 2021 return the Feds and some states won't allow you to e-file due to the fact that they have not opened your 2020 tax return and recorded the AGI. You will be rejected, they note, because your AGI cannot be confirmed, and that is due to the fact that they have not loaded your 2020 AGI ... yet.
