If you file the federal and the state returns together, the state will wait until the federal is accepted before it will accept the state return. If you don't e-file them together, you do have to wait until the federal moves from pending to accepted before you can e-file the state as it will need to verify the status of the federal return. Sometimes this takes a day or even two.
Just to clarify, does your TurboTax Mac Desktop software show that the federal return is now accepted? Or pending?
