It depends. You need to clearly state exactly what you want to do. And how do you wish to file--by efile or by printing and mailing? I presume are you asking about efiling. So the following points refer to efiling. You can efile the Federal return first and later efile the state return separately (but only after the Federal return has been accepted.)Or you can efile them both at the same time.But you cannot efile the state return by itself first before the Federal return.
