The turbo tax program says I can't efile the state return until I efile my federal return. I efiled my federal return over two weeks ago.

Are you sure you completely went through the TurboTax e-filing steps? Based on this message, it sounds like you either didn't efile your return or it was rejected.

I efile federal return 10 days ago. It was accepted and I received refund. I now want to efile my state return, but it says to go back to federal. Why can't I efile my state return?

I am having the same problem with my California return.

Are you using windows 10? I discovered I couldn't efile my Illinois return because I was using Windows 10 and TT is not compatible with Windows 10.
