Why am I getting the error message "Tax Year 2021 transmissions are not available?" I have never seen anything like this. I asked for a call back in Turbotax chat since it is impossible to reach a live person. I was quoted an 8-minute return call time frame and it has now been 5 hours and no one has called. I didn't realize how difficult it was to reach a representative, so moving forward I will no longer use TurboTax.
TurboTax is aware of this issue and it is under investigation. So sorry for the inconvenience. I'll do my best to update you when the issue has been resolved.
I'm filing in North Carolina and have run into the same problem when I tried to e-file twice.
Ditto. Also NC!
TurboTax took my money and told me to be sure my program was updated -- it was -- and then told me "you may need to file this return by mail -Tax Year 2021 Transmissions are not available - Turbo Tax is not ready to process Tax Year 2021 for this return."
All I had was some simple 1099-related files, no W-2s and standard deduction (no entries made for deductions, as there wasn't enough to bother.) Can't get much simpler than that, unless the lack deduction entries caused the system to choke.)

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 then change how you file the NC state return. This assumes that all of the forms and schedules included in your federal tax return are available for e-filing.
If using the TurboTax online editions click on File on the left side of the online program screen. 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 the federal return is e-filed and accepted by the IRS you can e-file the state return when it is available for e-filing. Just use the same procedure and change the state return back to e-filing.
I received your email notification that form D-400 was ready. I completed my state taxes on your site and I'm still hitting this stupid error about 'Tax Year 2021 transmissions are not available.'

I am having the exact same issue. It has been happening since Saturday. I just want to file. I’m about to redo it somewhere else.
Great advice from Champ Donin GA. Worked like a charm. Thanks
Looks like NC is causing the issue. Bummer. I don't live in NC but I work there.
I'm in NC too and have been getting this same error since Saturday.
Thank you! This was MOST helpful. Happy to have Federal filed....Now NC just needs to get there stuff together Don't they know this doesn't help my anxiety?? 😉
This happened to me also. Has anyone figured out what is going on with it?
Everything checks out, all info is correct. But still says Tax Year 2021 transmissions not available? And Turbo Tax has already taking their payment?
I am having the same issue, I received an email on Friday that stated the NC forms were now ready, But as of today they are still not transmitting. I spoke with an intut rep yesterday (Monday) who said it was a known issue with the NC form, and advised me to try again periodically, but so far nothing. Supposedly the delay is in how NC released the forms to the IRS, but who really knows. If anyone has had success in resolving this issue, please reply. Thanks.

I'm getting the same message and I'm in North Carolina. Turbo Tax just emailed me telling me that my forms are ready to complete filing, but it won't let me file.
This is really frustrating to say the least.
Intuit is sending out emails saying that all forms in NC are now available and ready for filing, but I'm getting the same message as above. Any thoughts?
