I e-filed both federal & state returns earlier this month. The federal had an error (wrong EIN for a 1099-R). The state return was rejected simply because the federal was rejected.
The program suggestion was to fix the federal errors and re-efile. Once the federal has been accepted, I could re-efile the state at no-charge.
I fixed the federal error and re-efiled the federal (but not the state). Once the federal was accepted (that's the status in the "check status"), I went in and attempted to re-efile the state return. The e-file screen only identified that the state could be e-filed (note at the bottom indicated that the federal was already done). Unfortunately, when I attempted to e-file only the state (the only one available to e-file), I got an error page indicating that the federal needed to be e-filed as well - which I'm not able to do.
Please help resolve this (a program bug??) and let me know what to do! I know that I could print and mail but I've already paid to have the state e-filed and that would be a waste of money!
