What federal issue prevents e filing?

It could be a number of things, and it is useless to try and guess.  If your return was rejected, tell us the rejection code or rejection message.

 You cannot file electronically if you have a W-2  With state withholding greater than 50% of the state wages.

It is unlikely that your state tax withheld would be more than 50% of your state wages, since your state tax rate would be less than 50%, so that much tax would not normally be withheld.

 

You should look at box 16 through 19 on your W-2 form and make sure you entered those numbers correctly in TurboTax. If you did, and our state withholding in box 17 is more than half of your state wages in box 16, or your local tax in box 19 is more than half of your local wages in box 18, you will have to mail your tax return in.
