After you file

Ready to mail indicates that the tax return has not been e-filed and you need to print and mail the tax return.

Use this TurboTax website to check the status of an e-filed return and if it was either accepted or rejected - https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

If the state return does not show as being Accepted by the state then you can go back and e-file the state return.

Note - The federal tax return must have been e-filed and accepted by the IRS before you can e-file the state tax return.  If the federal tax return has not been e-filed then the state tax return cannot be e-filed.
