I need to file my state taxes for my refund, but I filed extension for federal because I owe

Since you are not efiling the federal return, you cannot efile the state return, you'll need to select that you'll file by mail for the state return.

Select "File" on the tax timeline.
Walk through the steps for finalizing, and under Step 3 if you don't see file by mail selected click the blue text that says "I'd like to change filing methods"
Select "I'm not ready to file" for the Federal Return
Select "File by mail" for the State return and click Save.
