How do I go back and file an incomplete state return now that the forms are available?

Disregard.

Too late re disregarding 🙂   But thanks for trying to intercept it.

I'm going to put a title back, since it might help someone else.

If you plan to efile the VA return, then I will assume you efiled your Federal return, and it has been accepted, which is a prerequisite.

Here's a way to open the state return back up to finish/file:

• Log in and go to the 2016 Tax Timeline.
• Scroll to "Some things you can do."
• Choose "Add a state."  (you're not really adding one; that's just to get the return to open up.)
• Once the return is open, you can go to the State Taxes tab to complete the state return, if necessary.  Carefully review it before filing since some of the forms may have updated since you last worked on it.
• Then step through the Review tab.
• Then go through the FILE tab to choose a filing method, etc.
• If filing by mail, it should prompt you to print the return and filing instructions.
  
• If efiling, be sure you go all the way to the end to the final screen and click the button "Transmit Returns Now".
