Can I e-file my state taxes before my federal taxes?

My state taxes are due before federal taxes.

No.  You can't efile state until federal has been accepted.

You can file state before Federal but you have to mail state.

You have to first fill out federal for it to flow to state and pay the fees for both by credit card.
