Filed both Federal and State before deadline, but received a letter from State saying return was "received" late?

I filed Federal and State tax returns using TurboTax Premier 2019 on time. But I just received a letter from State saying return was "received" late. There is no problem with Federal return! Now the State is charging me a late fee penalty plus interest!

 

I believe the State should look at not the date it was "received", but when it was filed? What about those tax returns being mailed in but got delayed by post office?! Or another question I could think of is, maybe there is no way for the State to tell the date when the return was filed using TurboTax e-file? Wondering if anyone else got similar issues. Any advice would be really appreciated! Thank you!
