i had an email and phone exchange with the e-file office at the Maryland Comptrollers office. The lady I talked to had no idea about this TT glich and was sending the problem up to higher ups. [email address removed]

Did you happen to receive a 1099k from venmo or PayPal 

[MD-workaround]

Pretty frustrating since I already paid for the MD e-file, I couldn't delete my MD return and then file just my federal.  

I was able to workaround this by choosing to file my MD return by mail, then finally got the option to CHANGE my state filing method and choose I'm not ready to file.  Then save.  I had to fumble around with the settings for the file by Mail option to get here.

This article is similar workaround but not totally accurate since it takes a bit of menu hopping to get to the Change option.

Can I file my federal taxes now and skip my state for later? (intuit.com)

The bug is definitely on TT's side, there's a 0 in one of the 8582 form fields that is no doubt throwing the filing off.  I'll check back every week or so and try to file my MD return but I was at least able to file my Federal.

Also earlier suggestion to go to Forms view only works for TT Desktop app, not Turbotax Online.

Best method if you didn't pay for State e-file yet is to file Federal, then manually input your State directly into the MD site and save yourself $30 while you are at it.

I spent 3 hours on the phone with a TurboTax Supervisor yesterdy with no success.  We did note that it appears to that when the form was added to the program, that someone within TurboTax mistakenly entered $1 into one of the 8532 Worksheets  where it should be calculating the total of the preceding entries but where those boxes remain blank.  When we tried to edit it out, the form was unresponsive.  I suspect that it is that, and not a change by the IRS that is preventing clients from filing. I do understand that the investigation into the problem is active, but in the meantime, if you need to file your Maryland Tax Return, you’re stuck.  Hopefully they provide the necessary focus and commitment to get this resolved soon.

So I called the comptroller they saying it’s a federal form which it is but the form is available on the irs site so TurboTax need to release the form. I think this is my last year with TurboTax.

I’ve paid for state and federal they won’t let me download it so I can file I can mail it. I’m going to keep at it. Thanks 

[Shayg23]

No but I did file a jury duty w-2

[Shayg23]

When I called the lady talked to her supervisor and the supervisor didn’t know anything about this form

I called twice this week to complain and filed the form with them the last ten years keep calling

MA also….I also spent three hours on phone yesterday

So it’s TurboTax then because if you go to the irs.gov the form is there for you to download. So what’s the hold up with TurboTax idk but I’m over it.

I’m using TurboTax SE on a MacBook and right clicking doesn’t provide any options.

I wasn’t able to edit the form based on other’s messages but using the Edit Key at the top of the page worked!  I to have a Mac and the earlier solutions were likely for Windows.  Thanks for the Post!
