It means that TurboTax cannot transmit your state return yet, as the required federal return has not yet been accepted by the IRS.
The IRS has not begun accepting returns for 2024. The date they will begin accepting individual tax returns is January 27th. State returns cannot be e-filed until your federal form has been accepted by the IRS.
I tried going in today to efile for both federal and state and it’s still saying the same thing
It might be that not all the forms in your return have been finalized yet. If you have Draft forms in your return, it would not allow you to finish your return.
