 If all your forms are ready and available to be e-filed and you receive this message, please follow the steps below

  1. Sign out of TurboTax.

I can get all the way to actually filing and I get the error message about not being able to file in subject line.  There are no unusual forms.  I did pay for federal filing.  Last year, I indicated that I wanted to file both state and federal together and I paid for it all at once.  That's the only think I can think of that is different this year.  It did not have me pay for state.  I have attempted to remove state (put it as file by mail or later) and still receive the same error.
