If your state return still shows as "Started," and federal return has already been accepted by the IRS, you just need to go back in and re-submit that state return only. This can happen if some of your state forms were not finalized when you tried to e-file your state at the same time as e-filing your Federal return. You can only e-file your state return once all the forms have been finalized and your federal return is accepted.
You can use the instructions
below to help you go back in and re-submit the state return only. If you see option to uncheck box next to Federal, uncheck that first if you already filed your federal or you won't be able to send the state through.

NOTE: If you e-filed your federal return as Married Filing Jointly but want to file your state returns as Married Filing Separately, only one state return can be e-filed. The other will have to be paper-filed.
What does the status of the state return say when you log into your TurboTax account? Does it show as pending, started, accepted or incomplete?
