How can I go back in and file state taxes?

Did you efile the Federal return, and has it been accepted?  You won't be able to efile a state return until the Federal is accepted.   If you mailed the Federal return, you cannot efile the state return.

Here's how to open your return back up:

• You can log in and go to your 2015 Tax Timeline.  Scroll down to "Some things you can do" and click "Add a State."
• That won't really add an additional state, it will just open your return back up.
• Then once the return is open you can go to the State Taxes tab to complete your state return.
  

NOTE:  Do NOT use this method to open a return to make changes to an already-filed return.   If you later need to make changes, you have to go through the formal amending process, and your return must start off exactly as originally filed.

You're posting in an already-answered thread from last year that will not show up to the forum as needing help.  You should start your own new thread at the link below so it will show up to the whole forum as needing help.  And you'll need to provide enough info that people will know what you are asking about.

When you go to the form at the link, the first box is for a summary of your question (like a title), and is limited to 170 characters..  If you need more room, lower on the form you will come to another box with plenty of room to enter details.    This is a public Internet forum, so don't post any personal info.
