Instead of filing the state report by mail, can I access the system again, and turn it into e-filing? (I e-filed the federal one separately a week ago)

[yoursungjin]

When I did the federal report, I encountered an issue with the state report. It didn't allow me to e-file it because it needed my investment statements sent their way but it seemed that it'd take time. So I only finished the federal report with an idea that I'd come back to the system and resume the state report a few days later. Now I'm trying to resume it but not sure there's a way to re-access the system. I realized I can do so by selecting the 'amending option'. but I don't think it's suitable for my case. please help.

Click on Add a State to let you back into your return.

From Tax Home (the first screen you see after you sign in), scroll down to Your tax returns & documents. You may have to select Show to open the drop down.

Select 2021, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this is just the workaround).

Then when you are ready to file you can try to switch to efile.
