Cannot file state after already efiling federal

cwbl301 — Thu, 18 Mar 2021 01:41:29 GMT

My federal return has already been transmitted and accepted so is not selectable, and now I'm trying to file State and after I select efile my state return now, it says to e-file you ,must also select the federal return. I select back and it still says the following return has already been transmitted: federal return.

Good Morning All -

I have the Desktop version. Just by chance I decided to launch TT this morning and surprise - there were updates.

I was able to successfully file my state return -

Hope the same is true for each of you.

I work in Information Tech in my company and as frustrating as it is, I am glad they were able to resolve the issue and get it promoted prior to their anticipated date, and prior to me needing to paper file.

Have a great day -

@cwbl301 @IWix @steverickenbacher1157 @rkuch4132 I can confirm. They just updated the software today. It appears the issue is now resolved as I was able to file my NYS return!
