I mistakenly marked the box that someone can claim me as a dependent on my 2019 tax return (I thought my parents would claim me on their taxes), so I have amended my return to correct it.However, Turbotax says I cannot e-file my NY state return because: We could not process your tax data for electronic filing. You will have to print your return and send it by mail. So I chose file state return by mail, but Turbotax only gives the option to print out amended federal return. Well, I found that I can view&print my amended state return on the page before proceeding to e-file transmission page, but am wondering if the reason Turbotax doesn't give me the option to e-file or mail my amended NY state return is I haven't filed my amended federal return yet?

I mistakenly marked the box that someone can claim me as a dependent on my 2019 tax return (I thought my parents would claim me on their taxes), so I have amended my return to correct it.

However, Turbotax says I cannot e-file my NY state return because:

You have to mail in an amended return, they cannot be e-filed.

Three weeks after mailing your amended return, you can start tracking it at the IRS Where's My Amended Return? tracking tool. Please allow at least 16 weeks for the IRS to process your amended return.

Processing times for amended state returns vary from state to state. If it's been more than 12 weeks since you mailed your amended state return, and you haven't heard anything, we suggest you contact your state tax agency.
