There are over 40 different state tax agencies, each doing their own thing. After a Federal return has been accepted, it's unpredictable how soon a state return will be accepted/rejected. Some states are pretty fast (hours), other states may take a day or two, or less commonly, even up to several days in some states. And it can be bogged down a bit after the IRS first opens up for the season, since a lot of state returns which have been backlogged are then suddenly released to the state tax agencies.
A user should get an email when the state return is accepted/rejected, or one can check at anytime by looking at their Tax Home. If it was successfully efiled, the Tax Home should currently show it as "pending" until it is accepted/rejected. So users should check their Tax Home to be sure it was successfully efiled.
