Question

electronic filing state after federal has already been efiled

I have efiled federal for 2020 and chose to efile state later. Now i try to efile state and it says i must chose to file Federal efile again.  It does not let me go on to efile my state return?  How can i now efile state when Federal was already efiled?

This is a known problem.  There is a software update scheduled for 03/19 to correct this problem.

@susannawtang You should be able to e-file if your state allows it. Please read the rules here.
