But I'm guessing due in part to the LARGE response from customers, TurboTax sent messages to impacted customers Thursday, February 5, stating the problem was now corrected and taxes could be re-filed. However, the note also mentions refund amounts may differ from initial amounts. (Mine was $9 less.)

TurboTax apologized for the inconvenience and assured customers the glitch was no longer present. I re-filed and was accepted the same day.

What Caused the TurboTax Glitch in New York?

Many tax payers in New York using TurboTax to electronically file their tax returns this year were met with the unsettling "Your Tax Return Has Been Rejected" message. This temporary issue that prevented tax payers' returns from being accepted by the state reportedly stems from the 'Inflation Refund Checks' distributed to New Yorkers in the Fall.

When you re-file your taxes, if you were among those rejected, TurboTax says they will "walk you through the steps."
