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.

    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.

    I've been trying for 4 days to transmit my NC returns.  I keep getting this same error message.  $68 has already hit my credit card.  Can we get an update on this issue, please?

    Same problem here in North Carolina. It won't let me file when combining Federal and State E-File. What's going on? I've already paid TurboTax for my services. Why do I get charged for something that I haven't received yet. Very frustrating when TurboTax states they won't charge you until your taxes are filed.

    I have been trying several time and still keep getting the error about not being able to transmitted.  Is this problem fixable or is there another way to transmit?
