You have not mentioned which state.  There are states that are not yet accepting e-files.   And....it usually takes a day or two after the IRS accepts your federal return before the state accepts your return, so keep watching your emails.

When you e-file your return you will get two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say your return has been transmitted; the second one will tell you the IRS has accepted  or rejected your federal e-file.  If you filed a state return, there will be a third email (usually a day or two later) that tells you if the state e-file was accepted or rejected.

 

Check your e-file status:
