Please disregard/delete this one.

TurboTax Online is telling me that my individual Virginia tax return is not available for e-file due to the fact that I have a Pass Through Entity Tax (PTET) credit. The error message states, "The return includes a Pass-Through Entity Elective Tax Payment credit. Required attachment Schedule VK-1 is not supported for electronic filing." See screenshot below:

The error message appears to be correct about the fact that the VK-1 form is required to be attached to the return when claiming a PTET credit, per Virginia's Schedule CR instructions:
"Pass-Through Entity Elective Tax Payment Credit: Enclose Form 502 Schedule VK-1."
https://www.tax.virginia.gov/sites/default/files/taxforms/individual-income-tax/2023/schedule-cr-2023.pdf

However, I couldn't find any documentation on Virginia's website stating that a VK-1 form can't be attached to a return when e-filing.

Is there really no way for me to just upload my VK-1 to TurboTax and have TurboTax include it as an attachment to the e-filing? If not, can this functionality be added? I'd really like to avoid having to print out and physically mail my return in because I'm sure I'll mess something up. One of the reasons I paid for the Premium edition of TurboTax Online is to make filing convenient and somewhat idiot proof. This scenario seems like something that should be supported.

There is not a way to include an attachment to an e-file.

Will TT fix this in the future? Seems like a box could be checked on the VK-1 to say "Include This Form with the Tax Return." Likewise this would be good for Maryland, as I always have to file paper because the MD K-1 is not auto included.

I had a similar problem with trying to e-file my Virginia State Return. It wouldn't let me e-file because I had a 1099-DIV. I have e-filed with this form in past years and had no problems. I talked with someone at the Virginia Department of Taxation and they told me that they have not made any changes in the Virginia Tax code and e-filing with a1099-DIV should not be a problem. Your situation seems to indicate that there is something wrong with Turbo Tax. I have spoken to them several times but they won't admit a problem at their end and only blame Virginia. As you expressed, this is very frustrating.

That's odd, because 1099s do not get transmitted with the e-file. You'll notice on the 1099-DIV form in TurboTax, it says in small print "Keep for your records." The amounts are included in the appropriate lines on the return, but the actual 1099 doesn't get submitted. The vendor that issued it must submit them to the IRS. It seems there is some other reason your e-file is not going through.
