Filing State return

JAhlberg — Sun, 14 Mar 2021 18:28:40 GMT

I use Turbo Tax Premier. I have already electronically filed my Federal Return. Now when I go back to file my Iowa return I cannot get advanced. It says "you must go back and select Federal Return to efile. But that has already been done. I seem to be caught in a Catch-22 loop?

Also I have tried to pay fees to sign in to Intuit to pay for State Filing fee. But when I get to that screen I cannot "click" on the button to sign in. Nothing happens.

Your help is appreciated!

Please see the following TurboTax FAQ: How do I e-file my state after I already filed my federal?

That link isn't helpful; there is a problem with the desktop version of TurboTax when you have filed your federal return first, and it's been accepted, and then you go to file state return. TurboTax has a programming issue that needs to be fixed!!!!

A lot of people are having the same problem? What is Turbotax doing to fix it?

I'm having the same problem regarding the inability to e-file my state return after E-filing the Federal about a week earlier. How can we get the state forms to e-file.
