Yes - you can e-file your federal return and then subsequently mail in your state return in TurboTax.

State income tax returns can either be e-filed with your federal return, or e-filed or mailed after your federal return has already been accepted by the IRS, which normally takes a day or two.

When you get to the File section in the program, you can select e-file for your federal and print and mail for your state return. TurboTax will ensure that you have all the forms you need when you mail your state return.

I have gotten to the section where it asks about the filling status of state tax and there is no option for mailing of state tax

The same happened to me. I file federal and the state option does not include mail.

Have you already e-filed both your federal and state return?

Yes. In the 2018 online version, when you're ready to file, you'll have to select the "file by mail" button first (vs. the "efile" button.) Then you'll be presented with a screen where you can select "efile" or "mail" for your Federal return, and "efile" or "mail" for your State return, before continuing.

and you must still pay the TT State fee.

I continue to be frustrated and confused and have spend over a week trying to get an answer to this--how do I file by mail (and avoid the fee) for state after e-filing federal? I have nothing that says "file a return"....

Yes you can. The directions listed are not accurate though. When you get to the selection of "file by mail" or "I want to e-file" select the "file by mail" option. The next page that populates will say "we've determined the fastest way to get your federal and state refunds" on this page can you individually change what you want to mail in and what you want to e-file. Just select the "change" option for either state or federal. Hope this is more useful than listed above as the " best answer"
