Not helpful. I’m using the desktop version. Also, the list of issues seems to be missing something.

Out of desperation, I decided to file only my state return. Transmission went through!  But now TT won’t let me try to file only my federal return. Any ideas?

Re support, tried calling them Feb 24. On hold 10 minutes, line connected, then was immediately disconnected.

  • Click on the State Taxes tab.
  • Click Continue to start or complete your state taxes.

Please read carefully. I efiled my STATE return only. Is there a way to try to efile my federal return?

Did you use a different tax software to e-file your state return? TurboTax software does not allow users to e-file state returns before the federal tax return. Please see Can I e-file my state return before my federal? for more information.

I checked the box saying I would mail my federal return. Went through, state payment taken from my checking account last night. Reminder: this is an amended return.

I decided not to waste any more of my time on this.  I have filed my federal return via USPS.  I will be billing Turbotax for the time and expense I've incurred.
