State tax filing

You can e- file your federal now and e-file the state return later.

  1. When you get to the Here are your filing options screen, select Change next to your state return.
  2. On the the Change filing method screen, select I'm not ready to file and Save.

When all the state forms are available, you can reopen your return and e-file your state return:

  1. Sign in to TurboTax.
  2. On the Your 2021 federal return was accepted! page, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents, select Show, and then select 2021
  3. Now select Add a state (this reopens your return)
    • Note: if you've already started your state return, you can select Continue your return in the state tax return box
  4. Select State from the left menu (on mobile devices, tap in the upper-left corner to open the menu)
  5. On the Let's get your state taxes done right screen, select Continue and follow the instructions

Your e-filed federal return will need to be accepted before you can e-file your state.
