You may have missed answering a question throughout the interview to complete your state return. You need to proceed through the whole process to the review then let the software proceed to the filing screen.

To do this in TurboTax Online you can follow these steps:

Within your tax return click on State Taxes in the black menu bar on the left
Click Start State Taxes and Edit for your state you need to review
Verify and Continue through all the questions until you get the green check mark on the Smart Check Results screen
Continue through so you can file your return

I tried to do it and on the final step it says “all info saved” and then after I click on continue it redirects me on the homepage. My federal taxes were just accepted but state taxes are still “started”. I tried to do them again and it shows me the same thing “continue with state return”. Do I need to wait a little bit till they are filed? I e-filed my federal taxes but I did not have the option to e-file my state taxes.

Thank you very much for your answer

Once your federal return shows accepted, you can then go into file your state. Please see the TurboTax FAQ below for instructions:

How do I e-file my state after I already filed my federal?
