If you e-filed the 2016 federal tax return and it was accepted by the IRS then you can e-file the state tax return up through October 16, 2017 using TurboTax.  After that date the tax return must be printed and mailed.

  1. Login to your TurboTax account.
  2. In the Welcome Home box, click My TurboTax at the top of the screen.
  3. In the SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO section, click Add a state.
  4. Click on the State Taxes tab.
  5. Click Continue to start or complete your state taxes.
  6. Click Done with State.
  7. Continue through the flow to review and file your state taxes.
