State Return keeps saying, "some areas aren't ready yet for your specific tax situation." Have checked return & its complete & have re-clicked answers over & over.

Why won't it say complete like Federal and file?

Your State tax return most likely says incomplete due to many state forms not yet being available, so you have to wait until they are ready. Also, In order to e-file your State tax return you have to have already e-filed your Federal tax return and have it accepted before it will allow you to e-file your State return. Please see the state forms availability table below to see if all your State tax forms are ready:

Once your state forms are ready, you have e-filed your Federal tax return and it has been accepted, then you can follow the steps below to file your State return:

  1. Login to your TurboTax account.
  2. In the Welcome Home box, click Visit My Tax Timeline at the bottom.
  3. In the SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO section, click Add a state.
  4. Click on the State Taxes tab.
  5. Click Continue to start or complete your state taxes.
  6. Click Done with State.
  7. Continue through the flow to review and file your state taxes.

You may want to review the State Taxes section to confirm the return is complete.

Ohhhh . . . My Federal is already filed, but the availability, or lack thereof, of certain forms makes perfect sense.  Sure wish Turbo Tax would say that is the case, as it would have saved me a boatload of time!  Regardless, I appreciate your time and helpful response.  Have a lovely day ! Kim

There may be forms required for your state tax return that aren't available yet. If that is the case, the program will not let you e-file. You can check the status of the specific forms needed for your state in the link below.

Will Turbo Tax get the forms updated? Or will I need to file my state taxes somewhere else?

If your state tax return contains forms that are not yet available, the software will not let you e-file.
