This is telling you that information such as the taxpayer's name must have been entered on the federal portion of your return, not on the state side.  So if you have somehow modified your name once under the state tab for PA, you can't efile.  If you needed to make a correction to any part of your name, do it on on the federal portion of your return, and the change will flow to the PA return.

Delete the state return and then go back and re-enter your state information.

So if you are registered, then what's the process to delete the state to restart.  I don't see this menu option.  It's odd because I changed none of this information, it was directly from the Federal import.  Thanks.

If you already registered, you can't delete your state return.

I'm having exactly the same issue. I filed my Federal Taxes and when I started to file State Taxes (I need to file PA, VA and DE) I didn't have any issues with DE and VA filing but got this error message with PA. I tried to change my name on the PA but it didn't work. I already paid to e-file for 3 states and if I'm not able to e-file then how can I get a refund?
