Word for word, this is my exact problem. And my exact thinking as I looked at the date of your issue as well as others. My mother owes state taxes that she will pay interest on if she doesn't file today, and the state return is rejected because the federal return is rejected, which is also something that Turbotax should make clear from the beginning rather than waiting until you get to the filing step to find out you can't efile state without efiling federal first! I spent two hours last night trying to e-file and kept getting rejected. And she lives two hours away in a rural area, can't get around well enough to leave house and drive somewhere to get it printed. Frustrated doesn't even begin to describe my mood.
