Do you have a question about e-filing your state tax return? Please mention which state you are filing when you post your question.

Can you put my state return taxes on my wal-mart visa card? If i send you the info? Instead of my turbo tax.

Once the tax return is filed the method of receiving the tax refund cannot be changed.

I am not sure if my CA return was e-filed.   How can I find out?

Sign onto your TurboTax online account, the status of the tax return will be displayed.  If the status is Accepted for the state tax return then it was e-filed - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

Hello,

For my NY State, it shows paper file and I selected to have both my federal and state electronically transmitted. The federal was accepted, however, my state is showing paper- how can I change it?

thank you

Although you can e-file your federal and state taxes together, if you choose to e-file your federal first, you'll have to wait until that return has been accepted before you can e-file your state.

Once your federal return has been accepted you should be able to e-file your New York State return. 

To e-file your return:

1. In TurboTax Online, sign in to your account.
2. Select Tax Home in the left menu.
3. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
4. Select 2020, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you into the right area).
5. Select File in the left menu (expand your browser window if you don't see this, or select the menu icon in the top left corner).
6. On the Just one more step screen, follow steps 1 and 2 if you haven't already.
7. Select the Start button to the right of Step 3.
8. On the Let's get ready to e-file screen, select I want to e-file.
9. Follow the instructions to e-file your return.
