E-file for state return

Trying to e-file my taxes for 2024 and when I get to the end to e-file it says I can my federal but that the KY state return cannot be e-filed due to updating the tax laws that TurboTax will send me a email when everything is ready. I'm confused by this and does anyone know the timeframe to expect the email saying I can e-file both my federal and my state at the same time like previous years?

  Click Review to see if you are missing some forms needed in order to e-file.

 

Many federal and state forms are not yet available.  Check here for form availability. The dates are subject to change.

Be patient.   

IF you e-file now, your return will go into “pending” until the IRS starts to accept/reject returns in late January. You cannot make any changes while the return is on the server. The IRS will start to

It will not let me e-file my state return, it says I can go ahead and do federal and my state info will be saved. On the link you provided for KY the schedule KW-2 it says unsupported underneath the ready to e-file column. I just have never had this issue before and have always used turbo tax. Can you explain what this means or do you know a timeframe that I will have to wait before I can e-file together?

When you check the form availability it says unsupported for e-file. Does this mean I will have to mail in my state taxes?

Although it isn't directly stated as such in the link TurboTax posted here showing dates and such for various forms, the KY Department of Revenue website states that both mail-in and e-file returns are only available for submission starting on 1/23/25. I'm planning on logging back in here on the 23rd, to see if e-file for KY is then available.
