Is anyone else having an issue where you can't download various state returns within TT Business 2024? I can't download KY or PA Partnership. If you check the availability page ie-file s not showing (paper form is), but why can't Intuit provide a message they are not ready and/or an ETA. All I get is
"Hmm... it looks like we’ve hit a slight snag
Please try again or check back in a bit."
This has been going on for weeks. I called support and they don't know. This is the second year in a row of this issue. Frustrating as heck after using TT for 30 years.

Had the same problem, caught in a loop where TurboTax Business wouldn't let me purchase the state. Never could get to the point where it would take my billing information.
While talking with tech support (who admitted they were unfamiliar with TurboTax Business and never did help me) I started looking around TurboTax Business -- I found something that helps.
On the top ribbon there is "Help". Then under that there is a selection for "Pay by Phone" and then a further selection of "Additional State" Select this. This will pop up a screen regarding "Purchase by Phone" with instructions.
1) This will direct you to "Call Intuit Sales and Services" at .....
2) It will give you a serial number that you have to give them.
3) Once they charge your credit card within your Intuit account they will give you a "State Product Confirmation Number" You input the confirmation number, hit "Continue" and it will download the state software.
All sounds pretty simple, and should be, but not with Intuit.
As a warning, this did not go very smoothly for me, and it took about 80 minutes for them to process the order for two states that I needed to download. And they accidently charged me twice for one -- said they are reversing, but I will need to check that in a few days. They also had problems with my first credit card, so I had to add a second credit card to my Intuit account. I think their system was messing something up.
But at least I now have the two additional states that I need. Never had to work so hard to pay a business for add ons.
If you are downloading more than one state my advice is to download states one at a time. So first go through the process for one state. Then after it downloads let them know that you would like to do the same for a second state. They are able to set up an order for multiple states at one time but there is no way for you to input the confirmation number for more than one state. So only tell them about one state at a time.
Same problem here with IL state partnership return. Intuit - PLEASE HELP!!
I've been trying for over 2 weeks to e-file my MI state return. In my 8th call to TT last night I asked for elevation to the highest level after 7 failed attempts withthe normal help line. Person said it is a know problem (I was never told before) and I am on a list to get an email when fixed. I also understood I would get an email confirming what I was being told, but received none. I'll wait another week.
This fix is for a state that has been downloaded but won't install. My situation (and, I believe) that of the original poster) is that I can't purchase the state return I need. In my case, I try to "Start" my state return, the "State Purchase" window opens. I select the state I want, click "Continue" (twice) and get "...select Continue and we'll get your billing and payment info..." When I click continue, assuming I'm about to pay for the state return, all I get is "Hmm... it looks like we've hit a slight snag. Please try again or check back in a bit." The system won't let me purchase my state return.
@CatinaT1 I'm sorry, but this is not the solution and I'm not sure why you all keep promoting this as the solution. It didn't work last year and not working this year.
Hi,
After about 80min on the phone with a nice Intuit support lady today and using my IT QA testing skills we figured out a work around. I asked the support person to purchase the state returns I needed and after she did they appeared in my Intuit account, under Products & Billing. Then I select the '24 TT version and saw the individual states ready for download and install. Once I downloaded and ran the install, I went back the TT desktop icon to kick off the TT start-up and all three worked (KY & PA partnerships and PA Individual). Once you hit the State screen where you typically will purchase the state, you should see on the right side the states purchased for you and you select the checkboxes.
Note: I did run into a weird situation where after installing the last state and launching TT from there the process ired up TT 2023. Once I went back to the 2024 icon and launched all was good.
Note: There is a bug on the purchasing side within TT, but crazy how Intuit and horrible at addressing for two years in a row.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for posting your solution. Can I ask what number you called? The guy I got the other day was empathetic, but didn't have a solution. Maybe another number will be more productive.
I called Intuit customer support at 1-800-4INTUIT (1-800-446-8848). Good luck.
I called. Turns out the Illinois Partnership return won't be available until Feb 21.
I am also having this issue with trying to download the CO partnership file/forms.
Try calling the support number above to see if it might not yet be available. One poster above was able to get the support agent to make the purchase in his account. I assume he was an online user. I'm a desktop user, but because Illinois wasn't yet available, I don't know if that would have been a possibility for me.
In any case, gives them a call. If you don't trust the answer you get the first time, call again.
This is all beyond frustrating and stupid. Wasting so much time on CX phone calls. I saw OP had a support person purchase for him and then it showed up in his intuit products, I'm going to try that
I'm a desktop user, which sometimes confuses the support people - apparently most people are online users. Nonetheless, I got a rep the other day who was very persistent. She tried a zillion fixes, got tech support on the line with her (not with me) and tried a zillion more. She finally came to the conclusion that the problem was with the purchase module - it wouldn't let me get the the step where I actually enter credit card info. She spent 1 3/4 hours on with me (and, unfortunately, I with her). Finally, her supervisor told her she could just give me the software. She emailed me a link and it worked fine. Don't know how much pain you'll have to endure to get them to do the same.
I'm having the same issue. Can't purchase Kansas. I had the same problem last year.
