@Kat @Portia958 This is a normal for NC DOR they don’t begin “accepting” electronic transmissions until usually 3rd-4th week of February. We’ve lived here 23 years. It was the weirdest thing to me filing our taxes the first year.

@kat we must’ve posted this a thousand times 😂😆☺️
But let us try one last time to help.
NC resident here. They aren't accepting returns until Feb 28th so you can't file until then. To file federal, follow DoninGA's method. Worked flawlessly. Make sure you click file by mail, then uncheck the state. Federal should still say e-file.
"The North Carolina Individual Income Tax Return Form D-400 is not yet available for e-filing. It is estimated to be available on 02/24/2022
Go to this TurboTax website for North Carolina state forms availability - https://care-cdn.prodsupportsite.a.intuit.com/forms-availability/turbotax_nc_online_individual.html
If you want to e-file your federal tax return now you can.
You will edit how you file the NC state return.
If using the TurboTax online editions click on File on the left side of the online program screen.
If using mobile click the three lines upper left click File, you will see
Federal Return
NC State Return Click there inside the “box” click on the words NC State Return. You will see file later, file by mail/paper, choose mail. Sign and submit your federal electronically. Return to TurboTax 2/28/2022 to Electronically send your State Return in.
On Step 3 of the File section click on Start or Revisit. Select the button File by Mail. Then change the filing status of the state return.
After 2/28/2022 NC DOR will begin accepting e-file when it becomes available for e-filing. Just use the same procedure and change the state return back from paper to electronically/ efiling."
