It’s not allowing me to sign and file my state tax return even though they say it’s ready

I put in my deposit info, which hasn’t changed year after year. I hit continue and it keeps saying for me to complete the step again. I’ve filed federal no problem.

If you filed the Federal section separately, you may not be able to efile the state until the IRS "Accepts" your Federal e-file.  AND, the IRS is not "expected" to start taking in tax returns until the week of ~22 January.

 

A state return won't get transmitted until the IRS has first accepted an e-file anyhow, so it doesn't hurt to wait.

 

IF the IRS "rejects" what you e-filed, then any changes required to fix that could affect your state return too, so it really is best to wait.
