How to clear EF Message 5461

EF Message 5461 on a 1040 return indicates that either:

  • A state bank product has been requested on the bank screen for a state return that has a state EF Message preventing e-filing, or

  • A - All States has been selected for the state RT on the bank screen, but there are no states with a refund indicated on the return.

To clear this EF Message, either clear the EF Messages preventing e-filing of the selected state return, or remove the A - All States selection from the selected bank screen.
