I e-filed my federal return, I returned later to e-file state and TurboTax won't let me without resubmitting federal

Here is a FAQ: How do I e-file my state after I already filed my federal?

That faq only says I am able to e-file after my Federal has been accepted, which it already has since I received my return. It doesn't say how or why the software is not letting me e-file the state portion only. I am filing as single. 

Are you following the instruction from the FAQ? Most State returns are processed through the Federal even if you've already filed the Federal and are now only filing the State.

Yep. The only instructions on the faq are "With your return open, select the State Taxes tab. This will take you to the state section and you can proceed from there."

When I do, turbo tax says I have to e-file my federal first and won't let me e-file the state portion by itself. 

Can you send a screenshot of where it shows you have to file your Federal first?

Of course! Before and after I click continue:

Did you change accounts in order to create the Colorado return?  Because this account does not seem to realize that your federal has already been filed.

If this is the same account then there appears to be an issue with your federal efile.  You should contact TurboTax support.

Here's how to contact TurboTax.
