Question

Taxes wouldn't transmit

I tried to e-file and got this error message:

"We could not e-file your return for the following reason:
Tax Year 2021 transmissions are not available."
 
What does this mean?

I had the same problem earlier today.  Here's what happened and how to fix it.  I was trying to e-file both my Federal and State returns at the same time.  But I later learned my state, North Carolina, isn't accepting e-files till Feb.24.  So, in Turbo Tax , I re-selected to e-file my Federal return now but WAIT to e-file my State.  Then I click on TRANSMIT and it worked perfectly.  So my Federal return is e-filed and my State return will wait till Feb. 25.
