State tax filing

You don’t have to wait. You can file federal, Massachusetts, and North Carolina at the same time OR you can file Massachusetts first. If you do, you don’t have to wait one day.

 

Massachusetts does not tie its tax return to federal so both can be filed separately at any time. North Carolina is tied to your federal return so they must be filed together, or federal ahead of NC.
