Says state return is incomplete

Your state return(s) may also show a status of incomplete if you already filed your federal return by itself (or with another state).  If this is the case you can work on your state return now, but you will have to come back after your federal return is accepted to e-file it. E-filing a state by itself is only allowed once a federal return is accepted/rejected. 

To access your state returns, after filing your federal return please follow these steps: 

1. On the Overview page, click on My TurboTax > My Tax Timeline.  [See Screenshot #1, below.]
2. Click on Continue my [state] return.  [Screenshot #2]
3. If you have not completed your state return, click on the State Taxes tab.  If you have completed your state return, click on the Review tab and go through the prompts to file your state return.  (Screenshot #3)

Many state forms are not yet available, so you have to wait until they are ready.

The IRS will start processing returns on January 23, 2017.  Until then, any returns that have been e-filed will sit there on the server. If you are seeking the Earned Income Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit, the IRS will not issue your refund before February 15, 2017, which means it cannot arrive in your account before February 27, 2017 or later.
