Can't E-File MD Business Tax Return with TurboTax Business 2021

When trying to transmit e-file of MD 2021 Business tax returns, I get Error message 'Tax Year 2021 Transmissions are not available. TurboTax is not ready to process Tax Year 2021 for the return'.  I was able to submit my Federal Business returns with no issues. I am using TurboTax Business 2021 and I am filing a MD Business Tax returns for a SMLLC.  Please help!

Do you actually have a single-member LLC? Which form are you filing?

 

Did you make an election to be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes?

 

Single-member LLCs are treated as disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes. Without an election to be treated as a corporation, a single-member LLC would file a Schedule C with a 1040.

@Anonymous_ I do actually have a single-member LLC. I am filing form MD 510.

 

I did make the election on Federal Form 2553 to elect as an S-Corporation when registering the business originally in 2020, and received reciept from IRS, and had no issues with this using Turbo Tax Business last year.

 

So, yes I did properly elect to be treated as an S-Corporation and the business is a single-member LLC registered in the state of Maryland.

Have you checked the forms availability table for Maryland?

This may be an issue for which you will have to contact Support.

 

What is the TurboTax phone number? (intuit.com)

 

Typically, state returns need to be e-filed together with federal returns.

So, I do have Form EL101B in my forms, but it's completely empty.

 

It's strange it's listed as unsupported for e-file but is the decleration required to e-file, that makes no sense.

 

I guess I am going to have to call them becuase clearly there is no other recourse.

 

To be clear, I did try and submit them at the same time, Federal went through and State gabe me the error message I originally reported in my original post.

Also here is a screenshot of the full error. Just FYI, I am fully updated and up to date according to the program.

Yes, I think it would be best if you called Support.

I cannot get it to work either. Same error exactly.

I have the same error and cannot delete form EL101B.  Did TT give you a fix? I really don't want to file a written return.

Were you able to find and fill out MD 510 on turbo tax? My company sent me this form but i can't find this form in turbo tax.

You can view the forms availability here. It depends on the version of MD 510 on if this is supported via e-file or not.
