State tax filing

I think your images were obtained before efiling (i.e., when going through the process the first time) while this user, due to a possible program quirk, will not be able to duplicate them exactly since he has already efiled the Federal, and here's why:

I think there may be a quirk in that section this year.  I have seen 3-4 posts from a few users who have that same problem in the desktop software after they had already efiled the Federal return, and can't get the attempted switch to a mailed state return to "stick."  So it keeps telling them "nothing has been selected to efile."   Anecdotally, here's what one reported they had to do to resolve it:

 

1) Even though your Federal return has already been efiled, fool TurboTax by saying that you want to file the Federal return by mail.  (Of course, you don't really file it again by mail.)

2) And then, hopefully, see if it will let you choose to file the state by mail, and let you proceed to print the state return.

 

In other words, if TurboTax is fooled into thinking you are filing a Federal return by mail, then that forces it to allow a mailed state return since that would then be one's only option.
