Just wonder when the state return is going to go through, it looked like all the Mass forms were available?

Your state return(s) may not have been transmitted with the federal return and will show a status of incomplete if you filed your federal return by itself (or with another state). 

If your federal return has been accepted you can e-file your state return.  E-filing a state by itself is only allowed once a federal return is accepted. 

To get back into your return after printing or e-filing, please follow these steps:

  1. In TurboTax Online, sign into your account.
  2. You should be on your Tax Home page.
  3. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
  4. Select 2019, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you into the right menu).
  5. Once you're in your return, you can navigate around as usual.
  6. 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.

Has your federal return been accepted by the IRS?

I'm still going through the usual reviews before filing anything, so I'm not at the  point of filing.

Like an entire month ago and some, filed my return immediately. Said something like the state couldn't be finished now.
