After you file

Your desktop software does not have any of the information from the federal return you prepared online even if it is showing that you e-filed.      The only way you are going to get information into a state return using that desktop software is to prepare a federal return that matches the one you already filed so that the information flows from the federal to the state return.    There is a way to switch from online to desktop but I am not sure if it will allow you to do that AFTER you already e-filed.   

 

 

 I doubt that you will be able to e-file the state return----but see what it will let you do once you get the state prepared.  Worst case---you save the $25 state e-file fee and pay for a stamp to mail the state.
