why am i getting a error in Maryland state return?

TurboTax not letting me e file state return. "You haven't finished this return yet. Return to your Maryland program to finish, and then you should be able to file." I get the same error on 3 different tax returns. However, it has no erros while the review is completed

You will see this error if you did not actually go through the state to the end of its preparation.  You want to get to the part that says Ready to Review Your State Return.  Sometimes when you see an amount owed or to be refunded, it looks like you are all done but... no.

All questions have been answered. None are waiting to be reviewed. And there are no errors after the review. It is happening on 3 different returns.

It is happening in 3 different states that you are trying to file? Did you file your fed already?  If not, another suggestion maybe... Go through your federal return again.  Maybe something there is affecting the states.  Sometimes things that are allowed to pass in fed won't fly in states.  After you run through fed, run through one of your states and then try to send that state (instead of trying all of the states just to find out that won't work).

No, not 3 different states, but 3 different returns for Maryland. The federal has gone thru for all 3 individuals. The state will not transmit either of the three. Nor will it allow printing of the state. I can view .

Please see this Turbo Tax help article for more information.
How do I file my state after I already filed my federal?
