Long story... because of a bug in TurboTax 2023 H&B, my 2023 taxes were miscalculated and I paid too much in April. A later software update fixed the problem. So, now I am forced to amend my returns to recover the difference.
The transmission of the amended Federal return went nicely and was accepted by IRS. However, when I try to e-file my Virginia amended return, I get this:
What to do?
I really don't want to print 50 pages and snail-mail them to Richmond to get $170. There must be a workaround.

Today I was forced to print 25 pages of my Virginia amended return, put it into an envelope, carry it to a US Post Office, and lick a stamp.
Why? Because TurboTax programmers are too lazy or too incompetent to enable electronic filing of Virginia returns. I've spoken with the Virginia Dept of Taxation and they are ready to accept the electronic filing. The problem is TurboTax 2023 H&B. Embarrassing, unexplainable, and unacceptable.
I don't know if TTX has updated or changed their list from 6 months ago (May or April), but this TTX FAQ says TTX won't/can't e-file amended VA tax returns:

I'm in this mess because TurboTax was broken. Now that they've fixed their mistake, they need to allow me to file my return again. If they're telling us that they can't figure out how to do, they are lying.
They didn't sign it because that is an official TTX issued "Help" page......though isn't any help to you, it was something vetted by some kind of TTX supervisor.

" put it into an envelope, carry it to a US Post Office, and lick a stamp. "
Generally, this is required to file on paper.
I hope you signed on the signature line.
