First, be sure that your Federal return has been accepted by the IRS before you try to electronically file your state return.
Then, go to the State Taxes tab at the top of your screen and proceed through the state return until you go through the final error check to be sure the state is ready to go. Then, just keep moving forward through the process until you get to the point where it is asking about filing your returns.
You will probably see messaging on the screen telling you that your Federal return has been filed. Then you can choose to file your state return.
