I know of states that will not permit e-filing the state income tax return because state income tax withheld (and, perhaps, federal tax withheld) is identical on the same legitimately prepared IRS form W-2.
What state income tax return are you preparing?
You may have to paper file the state income tax return and electronically file the Federal 1040 income tax return.
