Forgot to file taxes with CO after federal and CA taxes already accepted and refunds received

Hi, I helped my daughter file her taxes for CA and federal which were accepted and she received small refunds back for both. We forgot to also file a state income form with Colorado, although we did include her W2 in the federal forms.

 

I paid $45 to download Colorado's income tax forms and completed them through Turbotax. She owe $0 and is receiving no refund. When I try to E-file the Colorado tax returns Turbotax states "E-file requires federal return" - "To e-file, you must also select the federal return. Click Back to select federal and any other returns you'd like to file."  When I click "back" there is no federal form to select. I see the following message: "The following returns have been transmitted. - Federal Return and - California Return.  Please let me know how to E-file the Colorado state tax forms.

 

Also, I tried calling the customer service help line twice. I waited for one hour the first time and spoke with someone for about 10 minutes and then was disconnected. The second time I waited 40 minutes and spoke with a person for about 5 minutes and then was disconnected again! Very frustrating.  I look forward to a response.

Thanks,

Stefan

Please see How do I e-file my state after I already filed my federal?- if the federal was filed but not yet accepted by the IRS, you will have to wait.  Please let me me know if this works.

Hi MaryK1101,

The federal tax return was not only accepted, but my daughter received the refund about two weeks ago. 
I appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Stefan
