Federal and state tax returns are processed by 2 separate entities so one being processed before the other is a usual occurrence. Once your federal refund is approved by the IRS then you will be able to track it on WMR.

You can also call the WMR automated hotline to check on your return. This will cover the usual reasons why that could happen.  

Why is there no record of my return at Where's My Refund (WMR)?
