State taxes via mail?

[marleemunster818]

I have no idea how to file my state taxes via the mail, and I could really use some help and guidance. Last year I was able to file them online with no problem, but since I owe a little bit, it's saying they can't be e-filed.

Also, I sold some stocks on cash app and received an email mentioning a 1099... I filed my Federal taxes and the IRS already approved them. I'm not sure what I should do here or if I can file this form once I receive it/with my state taxes.

It sounds like you e-filed too soon.   If you get a 1099B for selling stock, you are going to have to amend your federal return once it is processed.   Or, if the IRS rejects your e-file, wait until you have the 1099B and then enter it into the federal before you try to re-file it.

"Accepted" and "approved" by the IRS do not mean the same thing.   

Information flows from your federal return to the state return.

As for having to mail the state return because you owe the state, that is not correct.  You can e-file the state and pay the state by April 15, 2025.  If you just want to file the state by mail, that is okay too.   You pay the state by the state's preferred method---which may be check, money order, or by using a credit or debit card on the state's tax site.

Hello! You are a life-saver!

I e-filed as soon as I got my W2s from work and that was a mistake, I see... I didn't sell much stock, I think, but if the federal return is rejected, I'll refile once I have the proper form.

I believe the state taxes say they are "Started" on turbo tax, but they weren't accepting the online payment. That means I have to get a check and send it to them, right?
