You asked, "Can I file it again?"
No. If the original Federal return was accepted, you do not file it again. Why would you want to do that?
When you get the Federal refund has nothing to do with when you get the State refund. Neither one is predictable, and either one can come first. They come from 2 different tax agencies, each doing their own thing.
How long has it been since you efiled the Federal return? The IRS says 9 out of 10 filers who efile and choose direct deposit will get their refunds within 21 days. You can monitor it with the IRS tool mentioned below. Some returns take longer for additional processing due to specific items in the return. Some are pulled at random for more thorough investigation.
Also, if you have EIC (earned income credit, aka EITC) or ACTC (additional child tax credit), the IRS will not start releasing those refunds until February 15. That means people with those types of credits may not start receiving their refunds until around February 27.
NOTE: If you chose to pay any TurboTax fees out of your Federal refund, that is another link in the chain, since your funds go first from the IRS to an intermediary bank where the fees are subtracted. Then that intermediary bank sends the rest of the funds to your bank in a second direct deposit.
