State e-file transmission failed with error FAILED_VALIDATION.

I'm unable to e-file my state tax return for 2024. Error code says FAILED_VALIDATION and to resolve it by updating to the latest version of TurboTax. However, when I check for updates, there are none and I'm told I'm on the latest version. Please advise. 

 

Do not link me to the TurboTax Desktop FAQ  which does not address this issue.
