Have you filed your federal return and did you use TurboTax?

Yes, my federal return has been filed. No, I did not use TurboTax.

Unfortunately, TurboTax does not have a standalone state tax preparation product. The TurboTax State program is designed to transfer information from your federal return.

If you already filed your federal return outside of TurboTax and just need to do your state, please see FAQ below for details.

The TurboTax state program is designed to transfer information from your federal return. For this reason, TurboTax state isn't sold as a standalone tax-preparation product. For more information please click the link below.

 

Can I prepare and file just my state return using TurboTax?

I did the Federal rand State returns with turbotax. This year, I do not owe the Federal. Therefore, my state taxes can not be fiiled without filing my Federal.  I need turbotax to file my federal.

HELP!

You replied on an old thread. Is there something we can assist you with?

I filed my federal return through EZ tax. They wanted to charge $19.95 to file the state return, so I went to TurboTax to file the state.  TurboTax is filing both the Federal and State, which keeps getting rejected.

The federal tax return cannot be filed since you have already filed a federal tax return and it has been accepted by the IRS.  Since the federal tax return cannot be e-filed, the state tax return cannot be e-filed.  The state tax return can only be printed and mailed.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for how to print a tax return for mailing - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/printing/help/how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online/01/26258

You can't prepare just state.  You need to fill out federal first and pay any fees to do state.  Then say to mail both and just mail state.

And you can not efile state unless the Federal was also efiled from the same account and accepted.  Read this whole FAQ

@renastewart Do you have a question or need help with something?   All you posted was "yes no" which gives us nothing to go on if you want help.  We need a clear and complete question.
