I filed a married filing joint return for the Federal and NYS personal tax returns. The taxpayer works in CT, and it is less costly for the taxpayer if I file married filing separate in CT, which is allowed by CT. I filed the Federal and NYS with no issues. I then created an additional file using "save as" and with a slightly different name. When I tried to file the CT in the second file, I received a message that there were errors in the federal return in this new file, and I would not be able to file the CT. Obviously, I am not filing the Federal return, only the CT return. In the previous year, ProSeries walked me through this and I don't recall having to correct the Federal return in order to file the separate state return. I also don't recall the procedure they used. I spoke to tech support and this person had no idea, and said someone could call back within 24 hours but that would be too late. I will probably just file a CT extension from the original file to resolve this today. But I still will need to resolve this.
