Make sure the program is up to date ... then go to the state tab and choose a state. If you cannot pay for it what is the exact error message ?
I cannot purchase an Illinois tax download either. Message is "try again". . .
You will need to contact TurboTax support for this situation ….

sometimes a WIN 10 update can mess with things ... log out and run an OS update then reboot the computer at least twice and see if that helps.
Fortunately that evening I was able to find a phone number for customer service and ordered the additional state program in a matter of minutes. Sometimes 'old school' still works better than 'new tech'.
Thanks to everyone for the replies. I gave up on TT and went to the Illinois website and printed out the forms and instructions and filled them out the old way, with an ink pen. Fortunately, Illinois has a delightfully easy tax form compared to some states.

I had the same problem trying to purchase two states. I tried calling customer support, after being on hold for thirty minutes, they gave up and disconnected me.
By the way, this state purchase problem has happened every year, and I always have to call, and usually they can solve it.
I have tried to purchase state software. I purchased Fed got Michigan for free now want CA. But when I try to order I have to get on line with my account. But then I had to change my password. After successfully changing, I still could not get on line to purchase. I need some help ...this should be really simple. I have been using TURBO tax for at least 20 years

The exact error message is that my credit card could not be processed. It will not accept any credit card.
I've called multiple times to order the state program and I keep getting hung up on. Extremely frustrating.

What is the TurboTax phone number?
@peppersnake
I got an message to change my password, which I attempted to do. Entered codes sent to my email and cell phone but was not granted access. WHAT IS GOING ON?
It can take up to 15 minutes for the code to be emailed to you, and check your junk email folders too. Don't try to get a new code too soon; it will invalidate the old code and and you'll end up waiting longer. If you can't sign in to your Intuit Account, the easiest option is to go to account recovery and follow the steps to get into your account.
