If the efile of my state return has been rejected due to the Federal 1099R entry remove any commas or periods in the line 2 name field for the Payer, how can I fix that?

Description of error:
Data in the return is missing or invalid. Please double check your entries.
What needs to be done:
On the Federal 1099R entry remove any commas or periods in the line 2 name field for the Payer. When these characters have been removed you may re-transmit for E-File.

Go back to your 1099-R entries and check the second Name entry for the payer.  Correct or remove if needed.

This was not at all helpful since it was my state return that was rejected and the federal return, where I had entered the 1099-R information, had already been filed and accepted. How could I possibly then had gone back and made changes? Turbotax should have automatically made those changes for me. I am extremely dissatisfied that I had to go through the motions repeatedly and ended up sending my return by mail.
