I had the same issue and I spoke to one of the CS rep. She help me step by step. What we did was delete State and efile Federal first. Once federal is Accepted by the IRS, you can go back and complete state, pay the $40 fee again and efile. How do you delete state? Once your done with federal and move on to state you will see two option: edit and delete right next to it. Just click delete and it will erase state completely. I don’t know why this year we can’t file them both together and why I had to pay both fees but it went through for me when I did it this way. I efile federal on Sunday and state this morning (Monday). I received confirmation that my state was accepted by the IRS. Hope this helps you.
