If the federal tax return has not been e-filed then the state tax return can only be printed and mailed. If the federal tax return has been e-filed and Accepted by the IRS then the state return can be e-filed.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for filing a state tax return after the federal return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/e-file/help/how-do-i-e-file-my-state-after-i-already-filed-my-federal/01/26811

Yes...but the big BUT.....but you might have to mail them in...depending on what you've done with the Federal part.

1) If you prepared your Federal taxes with TTX, and e-filed them already with TTX, (and in the same tax account) then you can continue on thru the TTX software's State section. Complete the state interview, and then you can e-file the state part...but only after the IRS has accepted your TTX Federal e-file.

2) You haven't done the Federal part anywhere at all. Then you have to full fill-in the Federal part..all income all deductions & Credits..etc...get it error checked, then you can continue on thru the TTX software's state section. Complete the state interview. Then PAY for both the Federal and state software...even if not filing Federal...then you have to make the choice to mail-in your tax returns during the filing process. You Cannot e-file the state part unless the Federal part has been E-filed and accepted ...in the same TTX account. So no E-file for the state in this situation unless your Fed has already been e-filed in the same TTX account, but you can still print and mail-file your state. You have to take the forms to the Post Office yourself after printout.

3) You've already filed your Federal taxes elsewhere, but want to file State with Turbotax. Similar situation as #2. You'll have to prepare a full set of Federal and State taxes with TTX, pay for the full software set, then choose to mail-file the Fed and State parts (even if you are not mailing in the Fed part) and print out the state and take to the Post Office yourself. 95% of all the data is entered in the Federal section, even if the Fed is not used by you. Just because you might have e-filed the Fed elsewhere does not link to e-filing the State using TTX. Both must be done in the same TTX account for e-filing. So Print-and-mail file only in this situation.
