My federal return was accepted but my state only says started. I've gone back in like 5 different times and everything is filled out and there's no option to submit it

There's also no option to resubmit it. It just takes me right back to the home screen where is still says started.

Some states are not allowing e-files yet.

Although you can e-file your federal and state taxes together, if you choose to e-file your federal first, you'll have to wait until that return has been accepted before you can e-file your state.

Once your federal return has been accepted you should be able to e-file your state return. 

To e-file your return:

1. In TurboTax Online, sign in to your account.
2. Select Tax Home in the left menu.
3. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
4. Select 2021, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you into the right area).
5. Select File in the left menu (expand your browser window if you don't see this, or select the menu icon in the top left corner).
6. On the Just one more step screen, follow steps 1 and 2 if you haven't already.
7. Select the Start button to the right of Step 3.
8. On the Let's get ready to e-file screen, select I want to e-file.
9. Follow the instructions to e-file your return.

My federal  return was already accepted and my NC state one still just says started and I've gone in like 5 different times to try a file it and it just takes me back to the start page again saying it's only been started. Everything is filled out. I've never had an issue doing it before so I'm stumped.

The NC DOR stopped al NC submissions until they get some late-legislation calculations done and installed in their computer systems.   Thus, no one is allowed to file their NC tax returns yet.

Come back after 17 February to try to efile it again at that time  (BUT, their start date "could" change if their changes become more difficult than expected).   You should run thru yoru entire NC tax return again at that time, just in case their changed affect your NC tax file entries.
