I cannot file my state taxes

You won't be able to have your state tax return accepted or processed until after the IRS opening date for filing of January 27, 2025. This is because the IRS requires your federal return to be filed and processed before they will look at your state return because any changes they may need to make to your federal will most likely affect your state return.

The IRS begins accepting e-filed 2024 returns on January 27, 2025. You can file your federal return when you have all of your 2024 tax info (W-2s, 1099s, etc.) and all the tax forms and schedules in your return have been finalized. Most should be ready by late January.

Accepted means your tax return was received and has passed initial inspection, such as correct Social Security number and correctly claimed dependents.
