Some state forms are not yet ready, so you may have to wait for forms.  And   if you already e-filed your federal you will have to wait until it has been accepted by the IRS.  A state return cannot be accepted until the IRS accepts the federal return.

Lots of  federal and/or state forms are not ready yet.   You have to e-file your federal return first, and then your state.  The state will not accept a return until the IRS has accepted your federal return. The IRS begins to accept returns on January 23.  If you are waiting for federal forms you will also have to wait to file your state.
