D-400 is your State's income tax return.

Does it stop you from getting my federal tax return if it's been accepted

Nope, ...Federal can be filed and accepted, and does not depend on the state tax files being ready for filing yet.

Now, the other way around is different, you can't e-file the state forms before the Federal has been e-filed and accepted.....though, IF...if..the state tax forms are fully ready, they can be e-filed at the same time.  But filing them both at the same time is not possible right now this year since the "software's" NC forms aren't ready yet for e-filing.  But Federal can be e-filed by itself right now, and wait until after (24 Feb) to file NC.
