Several NC state forms are not yet finalized and available for efiling.   It looks like most are predicted to be available on 2/24/2022.    See the list of available NC forms and expected dates here:

 

State Forms Availability List
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/forms/help/state-forms-availability-table-for-turbotax-individual-...

 

If you wish, you can efile the Federal return now (if all your Fed forms are available) and efile the NC state return later. To do that, you would need to temporarily change the filing method for the state return and tell TurboTax that you intend to "mail" the state return. Then when the state forms are available you can switch the method back to efile.

I'm having the same problem. In NC, same error message. I received the email from Intuit that the form for NC that was needed is ready to go.....but still same result when I tried filing AGAIN.

I am getting the same error message in spite of receiving an email that necessary forms are available. Very frustrating. Is this a TurboTax issue or a state of NC issue?

I've paid my $20 fee to Turbotax to electronically file my NC taxes.  So why isn't it working?!  This is very irritating.

I have the exact same problem.  When TurboTax did its update the D-400 form was specifically specified as having been updated???????

Forget about e-filing.  I just want to print out my NC state tax return and mail it.  "SteamTrain Level15" says that printing is available, but I cannot print my state tax forms and PHONE SUPPORT can't help me.  I think that Intuit has sold a product that is not dependable.  

 

None of this would matter right now if I was not leaving on a six week camping and backpacking trip tomorrow.  Not returning until the beginning of April.  I can't say how angry I am at the misinformation Intuit is distributing on these community forums!

The Form D-400 is available for printing and mailing.  It is not available for e-filing.

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.

My Federal has been e-filed and accepted.  If Form D-400 is available for printing why can I not get past the message that it is not available for "VIEWING OR PRINTING OR E-FILING."   And two phone calls in two days to PHONE SUPPORT could not help me get past the message that the FORMS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.  THEY GAVE UP AND COULD NOT HELP.  And I have updated TurboTax to most recent.

My Federal is done and filed.  I understand that I cannot e-file my NC state return at this time. 

 

Right now I just want to print Form D-400 and mail it.  I've completed North Carolina  Form D-400.  But the TurboTax software will not show me the form and will not let me PRINT IT.   I keep getting told that I can view it and print it.  But I can't and PHONE SUPPORT can't help me either.  Even when PHONE SUPPORT accesses my screen they get the same message that I get.  "Forms are not available for Viewing, Printing or E-filing." 

 

I would even be willing to view Form D-400 and pen and ink the figures onto a paper copy but TurbTax doesn't even show me the D-400 (as it does Form 1040) like it doesn't exist.  So... I repeat that there is allot of misinformation from Intuit support especially stating that it can be printed and mailed.

I bought TurboTax and downloaded it from Amazon so I did not use the online version.

I don't know why you can't print it, but be aware that filing your NC state return on paper could delay your state refund (if applicable) by several weeks.  See this statement from the NC DOR website:

 

"Due to enhanced identity theft protection measures, some refunds may take longer than normal, which is 6 weeks for electronically filed returns and 12 weeks for paper returns."

THIS has to be a turbo tax problem for other programs like hr block you can efile your  NC taxes. BEEN using turbo tax for over 10 years now but this may be the last time i use it. YOU pay your 20 dollars to efile plus it's saying you can efile and then you can't. SORRY just don't understand why they would take 20 dollars and you can not efile your NC TAXES

I just followed these steps.  I’ve already paid for NC state filing.  Follow this thread that was posted, hope it helps!!  The good Lawd and my lil dog knows how mad and frustrated I was!  LOL 😂 

 

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. (Sign & File is step 3) click on your state prepared return then click file by Mail.

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.

TurboTax answers are all obfuscatory, they know they're lying but they're not going to tell us what's really going on while we haven't received our returns or why their site keeps saying transmissions not available or however it's put. they're just helping the government hold on to that money a little bit longer to squeeze every penny out of you they can

Turbo Tax is not the problem.  My daughter filed her tax returns with Turbo Tax and her South Carolina Tax return was accepted immediately.

 

The problem is the state of North Carolina.   North Carolina state will start accepting tax returns on February 28th.  Therefore, no returns can be transmitted before February 28th.)  When February 28th arrives North Carolina state will probably extend the date AGAIN!  You need to contact the North Carolina Governor and ask him why the constant delays????

     I just went to file both my federal and state electronically only to have Intuit take my money and then not be able to for fill their obligation of filing my returns. Bad business.

     What happens if we cant file on the 24th? Intuit should not take your money if they cannot deliver, and yes it is the "Tax Year 2021 transmissions are not available" screw job.

     If you can't make a product that works then do not put it on the market. This kind of mentality is exactly what is wrong with this country. Few to many people want to stand up and do a job right.
