I just called TurboTax and they confirmed the this is still not working and that they are supposedly working on a fix. Very poor TurboTax.
I e-filed both federal and NY state and both were rejected because the AGI amount (from last year's paper return) did not match the IRS database (had paper-filed last year and IRS has apparently not updated all of its records yet).
The latter is an IRS issue, but TurboTax should have warned me about this issue in advance of trying to e-file.
I then "by-passed" this problem (as recommended in the community discussion forum) by entering zero for AGI, and I e-filed the federal return again (by itself) and it went through just fine, and was accepted.
Now, I am trying to e-file the NY state return and (much to my surprise) Turbotax will not allow you to e-file the NY state return by itself. When I select e-file NY state, it then tells me I have to go back and also select the federal return to be e-filed along with the NY state one. But, when I go back, there is then no way/option to once again select the federal return. So, bottom line -- there is now no way to e-file the NY state return by itself.
Can't do it by itself and can't reselect federal one to go along with it. I am truly surprised by this, as many people may e-file the federal first and then do the state return later, and this feature is apparently broken. TurboTax -- Please advise or fix ASAP -- thanks!
