Failed validation during e file

Trying to e-file MN state (was able to send federal separately from state-per a previous thread) and still getting Failed Validation error.  I have updated the program to the current version, installed a patch, cleared my cache/cookies, uninstalled and reinstalled.  What are my next steps?  I have already paid for the state returns.  I have been using TurboTax for years and this is the first time I have run into an issue.  I have read many other threads and not finding a solution.  Need to file soon.

I had the same issue with a GA return on a Windows desktop (downloaded version).  First, I tried the various solutions in the Community including the mondo patch and redownloading the product.

 

Then two different tech calls.  First sent me a new state program to download.  And the second walked through numerous steps including changing default browsers.

 

No luck and the conclusion was to paper file as it was not fixable.
