Successfully mailed my Federal but Virginia requires e-file.  Turbo Tax won't let me e-file Virginia this year.  Says I have to e-file Federal first.  Not possible.  Also just completed taxes for two of my LLC's using Turbo Tax - mailed both Federals, and just e-filed both Virginias.  Why am I stuck on Turbo Tax home with no option?  Help please.  Outta time.

Sorry, You can not efile state if you are mailing federal or before efiling federal.  If you want to file state first you have to print and mail state.  See,

Is this for your personal return?  It has been this way for a long time.  Never heard of problems with Virginia.  People always ask about having to efile New York.  If you efiled a personal VA return and mailed federal you must have used another program than Turbo Tax.  Or it might have efiled Federal too in addition to you mailing it.  


Personal return and wrong on both counts.  Every single year I use Turbo Tax.  Every single year I mail federal and e-file Virginia.  And I just did it for two LLC’s.  Turbo Tax is broken.
