You should be able to do that.  I am not sure what version of TT you are using and I am only familiar with the PC version.  On that version, when you go to file first their is a screen that offers to file federal for free or mail.  Select efile.  The next screen offers to file your state or 'not now, do it later'.  Select do it later.  Complete filing federal and then print out the state for filing by mail.  Hope this helps.
