I was able to file my federal but my state didnt file even tho I filled everything out, why?

Since you already e-filed your federal return then the state return cannot be e-filed until the federal return has been accepted by the IRS.  The IRS will not be accepting any 2016 tax returns until January 23.  TurboTax will send you an email stating the status of your Federal return, once it gets accepted you can e-file your State return.

Another reason could be your state return may have forms or schedules that are not finalized yet by your State.  See this TurboTax support FAQ for state forms availability:
