Can't delay filing state

I want to delay filing my Maryland state return due to the issues with form 8582. I have already paid for my taxes for the year. However, I can't figure out where to go to only file federal.

When I go to the File screen it wants to review the Maryland return and it gets stuck on the Form 8582 and I can't unselect filing Maryland.

I can't delete the Maryland state return because I have already paid, it only lets me start over.

I want to get the federal filed now at the very least.

Thanks!

Here are two ways to skip your state in TurboTax Online:

Delete your state return, file your federal return now, and then come back later to re-do your state return
Since you paid for both your federal and state returns, when you get to the Here are your filing options screen, select Change next to your state return. On the the Change filing method screen, select I'm not ready to file and Save.

Please see the TurboTax FAQ Can I file my federal taxes now and skip my state for later? for instructions on how to file only your federal return.

I’m also getting that same error code! all it says it will be fixed soon but that was early yesterday morning . If it isn’t fixed in a few hours I’m taking my business elsewhere. Wasted my time to get to the end of all this, for your systems to mess up.. then the real messed up part is, if I want to use the live chat for help I have to pay yet another $100 is this a way y’all get people to have to upgrade by forcing them to have to talk to someone???

Update, I followed your instructions to delete the state return. The error is still present and will not allow me to go further even though the state is deleted… getting the same error code.

Give it a few days for the fix. Once it is fixed you will be able to submit the return electronically. Cannot give you a date and time that it will be fixed because there are other updates that are occurring at the same time. However, if you check back in a few days, hopefully it will be updated.

Were you able to file your federal without the state?
