I attempted to complete my 2020 taxes, however am unable to efile the State, I am getting the following error message; E-File is not available because your tax return includes a tax situation that can't be e-filed. Make sure to mail your return by your state's due date. Any ideas as to why?

It depends.
New York requires you to e-file if you meet all three of the following requirements:
Since you are receiving a message that your New York return has a form that cannot be electronically filed, you cannot electronically file your New York return (thereby not meeting #2 above). Therefore, you do not meet all 3 requirements mentioned on the New York Department of Taxation website. See the following link:
NY Electronic filing requirement
You can try to use the New York website to e-file if you meet their requirements as listed on the link above.
Otherwise, you can mail your returns in. Please see the link below for mailing address.
It is also possible that you simply have a tax form that has not been released for electronic filing yet. Please see the attached link for the release dates for the New York forms to determine if this is potentially why you are unable to electronically file yet. If this is the case, you may just need to wait a few more days to file.
