State tax filing

If you e-filed your federal tax return using TurboTax Desktop, you will have to use that return in order to e-file your state tax return.  

 

With your return open, select the State Taxes tab near the top. This will take you to the state section and you can proceed from there.

 

Although you can e-file your federal and state taxes together, if you choose to e-file your federal first, you'll have to wait until that return has been accepted before you can e-file your state.

If your federal hasn't been accepted, or you printed and mailed it, you won't be able to e-file your state but you can print and mail a paper return.
