How can I send you the $25 that will let me file a state return?

I efiled only the federal return. IRS has accepted it. Can I send money to allow me to efile state? what do I need to do?

You'll need to wait until your federal return has been accepted by the IRS before e-filing your state return.  TurboTax will request payment of the e-filing fee for a state return before you are allowed to e-file it.  You'll have to enter credit or debit card information.   OR you can print and mail your state return to avoid an e-filing fee. See the TurboTax FAQ below for full instructions.

@bobk1467 Just saw that you said your federal return has already been accepted.  So you should be good to go with your state!

In the Online version State is 39.99.
Are you using the Desktop program?

For Desktop, first open your return and go up to menu item
File > Electronic Filing > Check Electronic Filing Status

Then save your return.  Then go though the File tab.
