When I e-file Ohio taxes do my local rita taxes also get e-filed?

why can't Turbotax e-fie my rita taxes for Ohio?

No. RITA form 37  must be printed and mailed. This should have been explained on the Ohio filing instructions.

TurboTax (TT) does not automatically prepare a city return, you must initiate it. At the screen, in the Ohio program, titled 
 "A few things before we wrap up your state taxes"
      scroll down to Ohio City taxes. 
Or, later
"Your 2016 Ohio Taxes are ready for us to check"
    -Click Other situations
    -Scroll down to Ohio City taxes. 

TT cannot e-file an Ohio City or RITA return. It must be printed and mailed.

I actually find it easier to fill out a city return by hand or at the city, CCA or RITA web site, than to use TT. Things don't happen automatically and you need to know what you’re doing. The actual  RITA/city forms are easier to follow than the TT interview. There were major changes to the RITA form, this year. At last check, TT was still working on it.

2020 my RITA Form 37 populates with all of the correct data in TT but there is a watermark on it that says "FORM NOT FINAL DO NOT FILE" Any idea why this is the case?

Yes, the forms aren't ready to be filed.  Ether RITA and/or TurboTax is still working on them.  You'll have to wait.

But since you have it filled out, you might want to try filing at the RITA site.  TurboTax will not e-file RITA. You have to print and mail, even after the forms are finalized.
