Also, if past years follow this year too. IF you've already e-filed the Federal tax return, the state tax return may be locked until the IRS responds with either an "Accepted" or a "Rejected".
1) IF they Reject the previously e-file Fed, then you'll have to fix it, then should be able to e-file both.....going thru review and error checks again would be needed first too.
2) IF they Accept the Fed, only then should you be able to continue to e-file the state...BUT...you should run thru the State review and error check first anyhow.
