Clarification on 2024 Vermont State Tax e-Filing

I am reaching out for support and clarification regarding the ability to e-file Vermont state taxes using TurboTax Online for the 2024 tax year. My federal return was successfully filed and accepted on 1/28/2025, with the direct deposit refund pending. However, I am encountering issues with my state return.

On 1/28, a message indicated that Vermont state forms were not yet available and would be ready for e-filing on 1/30/2025. According to the Tax Form Availability page, all applicable Vermont forms are now available. However, my TurboTax account still shows the state return as "Ready to Mail" despite selecting e-file. Additionally, when downloading the state return, I noticed that each page is prominently watermarked "DO NOT FILE – FORM NOT FINAL."

Another point of confusion is that the return is marked as "recomputed." Given these discrepancies, I would appreciate clarification on the following:

When will Vermont state tax forms be fully finalized and available for e-filing on TurboTax Online?
If the forms are indeed ready as indicated on the Tax Form Availability page, why is e-filing not currently an option?
Why is the return showing a "Ready to Mail" status, and is filing a paper copy necessary?
If mailing is required, why are the forms watermarked with "DO NOT FILE – FORM NOT FINAL"?
What does the "recomputed" status indicate?
Can anyone provide an estimated timeline for resolution?

The Turbo Tax Forms Availability page for Vermont does show that all of the forms are ready for printing, and all but three (IN-114 and 116, and the Information Worksheet) can be e-filed. If you have Forms 114 or 116, they cannot be e-filed.

If you haven't in the meantime, run an update on your TurboTax software to make sure you have the latest forms. See here for instructions for Windows.

This is still a problem. I can't file, print or e-file it seems. I am seeing this, even after just updating TurboTax and it telling me there were no form updates. No form HS-122, no form IN-111. Can't file. Can't get refund. Is this a Vemont State problem or TurboTax problem?
