If I get S.S.D.I and am getting a refund from state of Michigan, why can't I e-file it this year? It's saying I have to e-file my Federal return first

Is the Social Security disability your ONLY income for 2023?   Use this trick that is allowed by the IRS so that you can e-file your federal return------enter $1 of interest income.   That will put something on the line that lets you e-file.  And if you can e-file your federal---you should be able to e-file the state.

Yes it is. I have always been able to just mail my Federal return and e-file my state return with no problem. Maybe they changed something up. Sorry for questioning your answer no offense at all towards you but are you sure I won't get in trouble doing your suggestion not wanting to go to jail lol

@tdacnfla3 No----no slammer for you!   You are allowed to put the $1 of interest.   And... you cannot e-file a state return unless you e-file the federal and the IRS accepts the federal ......so unless you want to mail both of them.....put a dollar on there.
