If you need to e-file your state (not amended state), after you e-filed your federal return and your federal return was accepted by the IRS, select the product you used:

TurboTax CD/Download software

If your federal hasn't been accepted, or you printed and mailed it, you won't be able to e-file your state but you can print and mail a paper return.

That was not the full question. I e-filed my federal and state returns. My federal return was accepted but my Alabama state return was rejected with AL40-050. I need to amend my federal return and change the state tax info in boxes 15-17 on one of my W-2's in order to fix the state reject, but when I start to e-file the amended federal return it says I cannot e-file my AL state return because now it is an amendment. Why is the corrected state return considered an amendment if AL rejected the original return?

You don't need to amend anything. Instead, go ahead and make the correction to the W2 and then file your state return. You do not need to amend your Federal return for this since it will not effect your Federal Return.
