Trying to electronically file my tax returns

[BGibbers]

I am using TurboTax Premier online to do my taxes this year.  I intend to file both my federal and state returns electronically this year.  However, last year, I used the TurboTax Deluxe Desktop version and filed my federal return electronically, but filed my WV state return by mailing in paper forms, which is what I have always done in the past to avoid paying the additional fee to electronically file the state return.  I'm now getting a question that I don't know how to answer.  This is it...

How did you file taxes last year?

It looks like you started, but didn't successfully e-file the 2024 return with TurboTax. We'll use this info to guide you through the next steps.

E-filed with a different tax software

Filed with a CPA

Printed and mailed tax return

Tried to e-file, but was rejected

Didn't file taxes

As you can see, none of these responses really fit my situation.  I don't want to make a mistake at this point. How do I get past this question?

Since you e-filed your 2024 federal return using TurboTax Desktop, you should select, “E-filed with a different tax software".
