state forms have to be finalized for PRINT.

It has nothing to do with your federal return status.

@fanfare thanks for the response. According to turbotax "Help" it says federal has to be accepted and then the state will be. It's somewhat confusing. the federal forms printed fine (mailing in both state and federal) however the state forms say "Not final, do not mail".

The state forms are not yet finalized for print. You may review the forms availability list here. Select your state from the drop down menu.
