I'm amending my fed and state retur, but have not yet rec'd federal refund (it's been 8 weeks). Is there a way to mail out an amended state return now and file fed later?

I missed a 1099 that showed up after I filed. I'm 8 weeks past filing (and acceptance) and haven't gotten my federal refund yet (I owed money on my state return). With the amended returns I owe money on both state and fed.

Internet advice says you shouldn't file an amended federal until you get your federal refund. Can I file the amended state return now and file the federal one later? If so - how? I can't skip the "How would you like to pay your federal taxes" page and go to just paying state. I don't want to choose a direct debit date for federal tax payment because I don't know when I'll get my federal return. I also don't really want to pay by check as it's less secure than paying via direct debit.

Any ideas? Thanks!
