IF you do transmit the Federal file first, as a stand-alone filing...you have to wait for the Federal filing status to be returned as being "Accepted" (not just "Sent" or "Transmitted", or "Received") before attempting to e-file the GA forms. That can take an extra hour...or maybe even 2-3 days (not sure what's going on during a holiday weekend)
That doesn't ensure GA will go thru then.....just that you really can't attempt to e-file GA as a separate step until the IRS "Accepted" is received .
