A state return cannot be e-filed unless the federal return has been successfully e-filed and accepted by the IRS. If you file the federal return by mail you will have to file state by mail too.
When you mail a tax return you need to attach copies of W-2's and any 1099's that show tax withheld. (even if it is a hassle--sorry).
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
