Can I file my Federal return using paper (i.e., snail-mail) and file my State return using E-File? Or, must I use the same method for both Federal and State? Please advise. Many thanks.

You can e-file both, or mail both. A state return cannot be e-filed unless the federal return has been e-filed successfully and has been accepted by the IRS. If you file federal by mail, you have to file the state by mail too.

You are allowed to e-file federal and snail mail the state if you want to.
