My NY state return is only allowing me to "Ready to Mail". It's not giving me an option to eFile after eFiling the federal return. How do I now eFile my state return?

I tried to eFile both federal and state together, but I kept on getting the following message, "Our records indicate that you are not entitled to efile one or more formsets.". I then tried to file individually. The federal went through. But now I don't have an option to eFile my state return.

We have received numerous reports of this experience that appear to be coming from various areas of the program. Please troubleshoot with the options below. If needed, we will need to investigate your experience.  Thank you for your participation and patience. 

 

a. Check Availability

 Please confirm all forms you are filing are available and supported to be e-filed. When will my forms be ready?(The 8915-E Form is projected to be e-fileable starting 02/24/2021)

 

b. Remove state and try again

 If all your forms are ready and available to be e-filed and you receive this message, please follow the steps below

  1. Sign out of TurboTax.
  2. Sign back in.
  3. E-file the return again.

You may need to remove your state and prepare your state return again to move past the error and successfully e-file.

 

c. Send us your tax file

WHEN IS THIS TURBOTAX BUG GOING TO BE FIXED????
None of the work arounds suggested works for me on March 12, 2021.
If you had "numerous reports" of this bug three weeks ago, what is the status of the bug-fix work?
