I e-filed my federal return and wanted to do the same for my NY state return but I must have hit something wrong and it says I printed it. Under law, I am required to e-file my NY State return. How can I correct?

You can change the state return back to e-filing.

Check your input for the Driver's License. There is a higher standard than other states and this may be the cause if everything else went fine during the state Review.

Also, try returning to your Jobs (W-2) screen. To do this, inside TurboTax, enter W2 in the search box. Select the Jump to link in the search results.

Once at the W-2 Input, select the W-2 and click Continue.
The next screen will have the box 14 input for W-2. If you have an entry in “Box 14 – Category” that says “New York IRC 414(h) NY tax exempt,” then
- For the corresponding input for “Box 14 – Description”, append the phrase “NOT” to whatever their current text is in that field.
- For example, if EXP is entered, change it to read EXPNOT

This workaround will provide you with the option to e-file.

Since the federal and the state were not e-filed together, you must wait to file the state until the federal return is accepted(received) and approved.
