Get your taxes done using TurboTax

We're aware of the issue and I'm following up on that now @haleyrsd In the meantime, yes, you can file Federal first and then wait to file the Idaho return after the Federal is accepted. I understand this isn't ideal. 

 

In TurboTax Desktop, navigate to Step-by-Step > File > File a Return; from there, the prompts will allow you to choose which return(s) to file. The option is available in TurboTax Online as well.

 

More info from FAQ - How do I e-file my state after I already filed my federal?:

Although you can e-file your federal and state taxes together, if you choose to e-file your federal first, you'll have to wait until that return has been accepted before you can e-file your state.

 

If your federal hasn't been accepted, or you printed and mailed it, you won't be able to e-file your state but you can print and mail a paper return.

 

Married filers: If you e-filed your federal using the joint married status, but you want to e-file your state returns separately, only one of you will be able to e-file. The other must paper-file their state return.
