Can I file my state tax alone?

[mferraro777]

I owe fed tax and get a refund in the state, which offset the amount .that is why I want to file my state form alone!

A state return cannot be accepted unless the IRS has accepted your federal return.  You could e-file them both but say in the software that you will mail a check to the IRS.  Then can wait until April 18 to pay the IRS in whatever way you choose---by mailing a check or money order or by using the IRS direct pay site.   Meanwhile--hopefully your state refund arrives by then.

 If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.
