This is a known issue currently under investigation by TurboTax.  In the meantime, I'm sharing an answer posted by one of the TurboTax Moderators that may help you out.  

 

I get the message "not entitled to efile one of more formsets". 

Please troubleshoot with the options below. If needed, we will need to investigate your experience.
Thank you for your participation and patience. 

a. Check Availability
 Please confirm all forms you are filing are available and supported to be e-filed. When will my forms be ready?

(The 8915-E Form is projected to be e-fileable starting 02/24/2021)

b. Remove state and try again
 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.
  2. Sign back in.
  3. E-file the return again.

You may need to remove your state and prepare your state return again to move past the error and successfully e-file

c. Send us your tax file
