Can I still get my state return if I am filing a couple days late?

I can't pay processing fees till this coming Friday? What do I do?

File when your checking or savings account has sufficient funds to pay the TurboTax fees.

OR

visit your state revenue website to explore online filing option.

You would enter all the state tax forms manually, but there would not be a fee.

If you are due a state refund, you should still be able to get it even if filing a late state return.  So you won't give up your refund just because it's a few days late.   The question would be whether your state has any penalty for a late return even with a refund, but even that wouldn't prevent you from getting the refund.   There are too many states to know the rules in each one, but I would guess that in most states there is no penalty for a late state return that is getting a state refund.

For example, for a Federal return there is no penalty for a late return that is getting a refund.   Many states may also follow that same principle in a similar vein; however, a state could have its own rules.   Even if a state did have a penalty for a late return even with a refund, you would still get the rest of your state refund.
