E file error

tqp817 — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 09:38:24 GMT

I'm unable to file state taxes even though I already filed my Federal. I was unable to file my state returns at the same time as the federal because the state was not excepting them until a later date. I have status that tells me the Federal has been excepted, in fact I have received my refund already. The error I,m getting is unable to e-file the state because I need the file the Federal first.?????

How do I get around this???

To e-file your state return after you e-filed your federal return and your federal return was accepted, please see the information below.

If you're using TurboTax Online:

Sign in to TurboTax
On the Your 2022 federal return was accepted! page, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents, select Show, and then select 2022
Now select Add a state (this reopens your return)
- Note: If you've already started your state return, you can select Continue your return in the state tax return box
Select State from the left menu
On the Let's get your state taxes done right screen, select Continue and follow the instructions.

If you're using TurboTax CD/Download:

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.

I used the windows downloaded turbotax.. your reply to my problem does not work.. I STILL cannot file my state return because the windows version wants me to send the Federal taxes again.. Like I already stated , the status shows the Federal file have been accepted ( even though I already have received the money ) .

There is somekind of error with the windows version that will not let me send the state E-file.. HELP
