Can i just file state taxes and not Federal?

No, in order to e-file your State tax return you must first e-file and have accepted your Federal tax return. The TurboTax State program is designed to pull (transfer) information from your federal return. For this reason, TurboTax State is not sold as a standalone tax-preparation product. However, you can print and mail your State return. Please see the following TurboTax FAQ for more information:

If you’ve elected to pay the TurboTax fees through your refund, the File by Mail option won’t be available. Change your payment method, return, and follow the steps.

  2. Click File and you’ll get to the [Your name], just (…) more steps and we'll file your returns screen.
