Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You will not be able to e-file your state return until you file your federal return.   A state return cannot be e-filed unless the IRS has accepted your federal return.  What you can do is e-file them both now, but when you e-file the federal, say that you will mail a check to pay the federal tax due.  Then you have until April 18 to pay the tax due to the IRS.  So hopefully you receive the state refund before then and use it to pay the federal tax due.
