Trying to submit a return. Turbotax message says the submission is a duplicate. Then says they could not find a federal return that matches. Both submitted at SAME TIME.

So they are saying that the STATE submission is a duplicate but the federal was not submitted. How can that be?

When you log in currently and go to the Tax Home (it may open there), what is shown for the status? Which of these terms is used for the Federal return: does it say pending, accepted, rejected, started, printed, ready to mail, or what?

And what does it show for the state return status?
