Error when transmitting e-file for RI Tax Year 2021

When trying to transmit e-file of RI 2021 tax return, I get Error message 'Tax Year 2021 Transmissions are not available. TurboTax is not ready to process Tax Year 2021 for the return'. I initially tried to transmit the Federal, MA and RI tax returns together and received this message.

I was able to transmit the Federal and MA tax returns individually. I've deleted Cookies and restarted the computer, but still encounter this error. It says to check for updates. The latest updates were installed prior to beginning the tax returns.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I ran into this with RI too. The issue is with NC, not with TurboTax.

Choose the file fed form option, but not the state, for now.

That way you can at least get your fed taxes filed.

Come back after the 24th of the month and NC will be ready to accept electronic returns.

When I had the issue in RI, I simply tried it once a day until it finally transmitted.

The state of NC is saying the 24th, but it could be sooner. RI had been saying the 25th, but started working early this week. I'm not sure if everyone reading these messages realizes it, but this is a community board.

The people responding are like you, just users of TurboTax, not TurboTax employees.

From what I've read NC is not accepting efile until February 24th. I did get 2 to transmit on the 10th and I have 1 left to do. Probably have to wait until the 24th

The North Carolina Individual Income Tax Return Form D-400 is not yet available for e-filing. It is estimated to be available on 02/24/2022

Go to this TurboTax website for North Carolina state forms availability - https://care-cdn.prodsupportsite.a.intuit.com/forms-availability/turbotax_nc_online_individual.html

If you want to e-file your federal tax return now then change how you file the NC state return. This assumes that all of the forms and schedules included in your federal tax return are available for e-filing.

If using the TurboTax online editions click on File on the left side of the online program screen. On Step 3 of the File section click on Start or Revisit. Select the button File by Mail. Then change the filing status of the state return.

After the federal return is e-filed and accepted by the IRS you can e-file the state return when it is available for e-filing. Just use the same procedure and change the state return back to e-filing.

Ok so I found a fix, So when you click file it will pop up with efile next to federal and state then click file by mail. It when then give you the option to select not ready to file next to your returns which will then let you efile your federal by itself. So click not ready to file next to state then efile federal. It worked for me once I figure this out

I just got off the phone with TurboTax. The state is not accepting state returns until the 17th I believe she said. If you want file your federal first you need to select paper file for your state return and continue e-file for Federal . Its going to let you successfully e file you federal first. And when state open you have to go back and change your state file from paper file to e-file.
