Can I file my federal taxes now and skip my state for later?

You can file your federal taxes before your state taxes.

If you e-file your federal return, you must wait for it to be accepted before you can e-file your state. Or you can paper-file your state return whenever you're ready.

Here are two ways to skip your state in TurboTax Online:

• Delete your state return, file your federal return now, and come back later to your state return.
  • You'll pay for your state when you file it.
• When you get to the We've determined the easiest way to file your taxes screen, select Change next to your state return. On the Change filing method screen, select I'm not ready to file and Save.
  • You'll pay for your state when you file your federal return.
