Georgia will be accepting state tax returns starting on 02/01/2020 - https://dor.georgia.gov/wheres-my-refund

The state of Georgia is not accepting returns until 2/01/20, according to the State's website https://dor.georgia.gov/individual-electronic-filing-faq. If you are receiving a message stating efile not available until February 3rd, please log back into your TurboTax Online account or TurboTax Desktop program on February 3rd. Click "Take Me To Return" and follow the steps provided so that you can complete your State return and efile it.

You can e-file federal and state at the same time. The state e-file will just be Pending until the state starts receiving tax returns.

This is rediculous... itntold me the other day I had to wait until the 27th to file, which was fine, but now its telling me 2/3. This wasn't a problem last year!

I found a work around. When it asks to file return at end choose to mail instead. Then you will have a option to efile federal without the state and either mail the state return or complete it later to efile on 2/3 or whenever the state of GA is ready. I hope this helps and I explained it to the best of my ability.

As of today, January 27th 2020, the Georgia Department of Revenue official website states that state income tax processing will begin February 1st 2020.

So it will be just a few more days before we can submit Georgia state e-filings.

Due to fraudulent tax submissions for some reason Georgia is delaying accepting state taxes until Feb. 3rd. In addition once you complete your federal and state taxes and pay. When you attempt to submit your federal and Ga state taxes they BOTH will be rejected. And you have to wait until Feb. 3rd to submit both. You will not be able to just submit your federal or cancel your state in order to submit your federal.

Your federal isn’t efiled. You can always choose to efile just your federal now and then efile the state February 1st.

I filed both of my taxes on 1/25/2020 and they both went through. I tried to file my daughter’s today and got the same message. I don’t believe either of hers transmitted.
