I need to file an extension for Federal taxes only. I want to file the state on time.

Why cant I file state and Federal separately?

If you are not e-filing the federal return now you cannot e-file the state.   A state return cannot be e-filed if the federal has not been e-filed and accepted.   You can file the state by mail, and file federal at a later time.
