How do I pay only my state taxes at this time and pay my federal later?

Say you will mail a check.  Then you can pay it later by check or pay online at the IRS or your state.

if your state still has  April 15 deadline and Federal is July 15, here is a workaround that could work:

1) efile both your federal and state return

2) indicate you are going to MAIL in a check for your FEDERAL return, while indicating you will authorize automatic debit for state (or indicate mailing in state)

that way you can still efile but control when the payments are made.
