NJ E Filing Error Message

I am getting an error message when attempting to file a NJ-1040. It says that "returns with pass through business alternative income tax credits are not eligible for electronic filing"

The return in question has so such credit - is anyone else seeing a similar issue?

Thank you

I filed Federal a few days ago and my NJ was held up due to NJ-DOP not available until today. I downloaded upgrades and was told my NJ could not be filed electronically due to "Returns with pass through business alternative income tax credit not eligible for electronic filing". TT Premier does not explain this at message delivery point and is it valid?

It appears that if you ignore this message, you can still file NJ electronically.

I also waited until the NJ-DOP was released and then ran into the e filing issue this morning.

 

It is unclear if this is a State of NJ issue or a TT issue. Trying to get in touch with someone at TT to see if there is any additional information they can provide

I did ignore it and went through the process, paying for NJ efiling. It charged my credit card, then told me I couldn't efile because of that form, which is not part of my return.

I sent this issue(with screenshot) to Turbotax support via Twitter-- I will let everyone know if I hear anything.

Got the same message after Turbotax software updates today (02/17/2022). I don't own a business, never have.

Couldn't find any NJ form that relates to this. What is triggering this message? What's the deal Turbotax?

Same issue here.  I attempted to e-file anyway since I do not have a business alternative income tax credit on my forms but like others here It would not file

I am having the same issue. How do we find someone to get this resolved? New to this site.

Yes. I'm seeing the same thing this morning.  driving me nuts trying to figure out where its coming from.  Does not apply to me.

Yes, I get the same error message. Must be a bug in TT because line 62 on the NJ-1040 is zero.

Be careful of ignoring the message and going ahead and filing.  After I printed a copy for final review, I saw   that TT erroneously indicated the following were part of what I was about to submit:  

Federal extension filed.
The address above is a foreign address.
Your address has changed.
Death certificate is enclosed.
I authorize the Division of Taxation to discuss my return and enclosures with my preparer

NJ-1040-O is enclosed. 

 

TO BE CLEAR, these are erroneous.  Among other things, I am not dead.

I got in touch with an agent and they said they were reporting it to programming. Unacceptable.

hmmmm    Given NJ efile refunds process take 4 weeks;  and 12 weeks if manual/mailed, one might wonder whether NJ State asked TT to "hold things up a bit if a refund is due"

I am getting the same issue. I was able to file my federal return, but the system said I needed to wait until Feb 17th to file the NJ state return because of a form from NJ was not into TT yet. Maybe NJ hasn't sent the form to TT yet?
