I'm having the same exact issue. I get a message that states I must E-File my NY state return but get a message that I must file a Federal return with the the state. I don't have an option to select a federal return as it has already been filed.

Please help.

I tried the review process again and had no luck. I am still not allowed to e-file state.

I'm having exactly the same problem and Federal return was accepted with no errors, did a re-review and STILL can't file the state return because it thinks I haven't filed the Federal. I know they changed the program so you can no longer file the state before the federal, but there seems to be a glitch now that if you file state after federal, it thinks you haven't filed the federal.
