E-File my CA taxes?

How do I e-file my CA taxes after mailing my federal taxes?

If the Federal return is filed by mail, then the state return also has to be filed by mail.  You cannot efile a State return if the Federal return is mailed.

A state return can only be efiled if a Federal return is efiled at the same time, or if the Federal return was already efiled and accepted.
