Won't file CA state return

stamenovigor — Fri, 12 Mar 2021 23:32:52 GMT

I've finished filing federal tax few days ago, and money is already withdrawn by IRS. However, today when I wanted to file CA state tax (and paid 25$ for it) this is the message shown by Turbotax CD download version and it won't let me continue:

E-file requires federal return

To e-file, you must also select the federal return. Click back to select federal and any other returns you'd like to file.

But when I go back there is nothing to select, federal return is shown as already filed.

Please help solve this bug!

Also, all updates have been installed, computer rebooted, both tax returns reviewed for errors.... Nothing helped so far.

I installed the update and the tax return was successfully filed. Thanks!

@stamenovigor They just updated the software today. It appears the issue is now resolved as I was able to file my NYS return!
