I select back and it still says the following return has already been transmitted: federal return.

    Good Morning All -

     

    I have the Desktop version.  Just by chance I decided to launch TT this morning and surprise - there were updates.  

     

    I was able to successfully file my state return -

     

    Hope the same is true for each of you.

     

    I work in Information Tech in my company and as frustrating as it is, I am glad they were able to resolve the issue and get it promoted prior to their anticipated date, and prior to me needing to paper file.

     

    Have a great day -

    @cwbl301 @IWix @steverickenbacher1157 @rkuch4132 I can confirm. They just updated the software today. It appears the issue is now resolved as I was able to file my NYS return!
