@lisagalinis In most cases, no. Most states use federal adjusted gross income (AGI) as a starting point for state tax. Therefore, the state will not accept the state return unless they get a green light that the federal return was accepted, meaning federal AGI is good. That will only happen if federal and state are e-filed together.
Some states allow you to file a state return for free directly on their state tax website. You can check whether your state allows that. TurboTax has a list of state websites here.
