Thank you Carrissa, however it does not work. Even though[email address removed] sent me an email to say that "Your federal tax return was accepted by the IRS." the software itself keeps on saying that I can only file the state tax after the federal tax return has been filed. It is as though the (desktop) software did not recognize that i have filed the federal tax already. And therefore it says that I can only file the State Tax after i filed the Federal Tax. What is inconsistent though is that if I try to file again the Federal tax , the software (correctly) says that this is a duplicate of a federal tax return I have already filed. And (correctly) prevents me from e-filing it a second time. So the software is both recognizing that I filed the federal tax and denying it when it comes to filing State Tax only. Help Please !
