On your end, "accepted" means your tax return was accepted for processing. It does not mean they accepted your payment or received your payment of tax due. How did you pay? If you expected to pay from a federal refund, that is impossible. Most states want you to pay with a check or money order, or by going on the state's own tax web site and paying with a credit/debit card. If you have no bank/credit card records showing that you paid, then you still need to pay your state tax.
