Question

State e-file

I have the desktop version and am ready to e-file both state and federal, I followed the link and paid the $19.99 to e-file my PA return but the program will not allow me to move forward, every time I try to file I have to select either pay by credit card or have the cost covered by federal return. I follow the prompts and get the below on a pop up, indicating that the online system confirms that I've paid for the state e-file.

 

Below is the text that appears when I follow the prompts but when I click out it does not move the needle to allow me to e-file.

    a firewall, virus protection or a privacy setting on your computer most likely is the issue preventing the communication.  I don't work for TT, just trying to help.

    I am having this exact same issue with my PA return. I paid $19.99 for the state PA efile on my desktop version. When I see that restore purchase screen it takes me back to the TT program and says "Your Payment Didn't Go Through"..."We noticed your payment didn't go through. You can go back to choose another payment method or select Continue to try again." 

     

    Weird cause I have a confirmation email from TurboTax saying that I paid and I see it in my credit card statement so what gives? Any one have an update on this?

     

    Thanks,

    Because  this has been an issue for some people which is usually related to computer settings,  you may want to call in so a live assistant can help.  See What is the TurboTax phone number?

     

    This will save you time and frustration.
