State tax filing

Did you e-file the federal from the same account?   What happens if you say, okay, file them both together?   Is that an option?   And your federal e-file status shows accepted in the same TurboTax tax file?   From TurboTax FAQ

 

Although state returns can be e-filed with your federal return (or after your federal return has already been accepted), it's no longer possible to e-file state returns before the federal.

This also means you won't be able to e-file your state if your federal return was, or will be, paper-filed.

 

If you e-filed your federal return as Married Filing Jointly, but want to file your state returns as Married Filing Separately, only one state return can be e-filed. The other will have to be paper-filed.   Federal returns are not affected by this security measure and can be e-filed with or without a state.
