Federal not processed - what to do with state return?

I was unable to file electronically because my wife died in 2019.  I filed by mail in April but it was never acknowledged so I filed a second copy in late May.  Still no acknowledgement on the IRS website.  I have a nice refund coming but that's not what has me concerned.  I owe the state of Arizona a few hundred dollars and don't know what to do.  Usually, the state doesn't accept a return unless the Federal return was received satisfactorily.  What should I do to make sure I don't run into problems with Arizona?  I can send them a check and the state return but will they accept it?
