You should be able to file your New York return once your federal return has been accepted.  To file it in TurboTax:

 

  1. Sign in to TurboTax.
  2. On the Your 2025 federal return was accepted! page
  3. Open Your tax returns & documents, and then select 2025
  4. Select Continue your return in the state tax return box
  5. Select State from the menu
  6. On the Let's get your state taxes done right screen, select Continue

If you select Transmit my return now and it doesn't work, you might need to troubleshoot your web browser.

 

  1. Turn off any pop-up blockers.
  2. Try using a different web browser. For example, if you're using Chrome, try using Firefox or Safari instead.
  3. Delete your browser cookies.
