When you try to e-file your H&R Block At Home taxes for New York State, you get the following error:<\/p>\n
We and the New York tax office are hard at work getting state e-filing ready for you. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll need a state update to e-file. Check for an update on or before [date]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
where [date] is today or tomorrow. Every day H&R Block moves it back one day. There is apparently no customer support or vendor-supported forums. H&R Block gives no indication when it will be ready.<\/p>\n
I wonder whether I made a mistake switching from TurboTax to save $10.<\/p>\n
I called customer support and after a 15-minute wait I was told that it would be ready on the date in the notification message. Ha!<\/p>\n
Update Feb 14<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
H&R Block has updated the message to this:<\/p>\n
