No. The TurboTax state program is designed to transfer information from your federal return. For this reason, TurboTax state isn't sold as a standalone tax-preparation product. You can use TurboTax to prepare and file your federal return without your state—but not the other way around.

 

If you already filed your federal return outside of TurboTax and just need to do your state, you can either:

  1. Contact your State Department of Revenue or visit their website to use their tax-filing service or download and print out their tax forms, or
  2. Re-create your federal return in the TurboTax software or TurboTax Online without filing it so you can prepare and file your state return using TurboTax
    • You'll need to print and mail your state return, as state returns can't be e-filed on their own

No.

 

To start and complete a state return, you have to transfer the federal return. So, in TurboTax you have to pay for and complete the federal return first.  You will also have to buy two state programs. 

 

That's unusual that your ''different company" couldn't do 2 states.  If it's an in person company, it's not unusual that the didn't have somebody on hand.  They may hold it for a few days until their specialist can get to it. You should contact them to verify.
