unable to e-file state return

broberts59601 — Tue, 16 Mar 2021 16:27:04 GMT

I have completed both the fed and state returns and e-filed the fed return. Now I am back in T-tax and attempting to e-file my completed state return. I receive the following message.

E-file requires federal return

To file, you must also select the federal return

Click back to select federal ...............
