• To suppress federal and state e-filing, as well as all bank products (1040 package only), select Suppress federal/state EF and all bank productsin the middle of the screen.

If you have multiple state returns eligible for e-file and you want to suppress some but not all of them, select the states that you want to transmit using the drop lists under Select the states / cities to e-file.

• When anystate is selected, only the selected states selected will be e-filed; any state not listed is suppressed.

• When no state is selected, all eligible states will be e-filed.
