I want to file my federal taxes on tax day, 4/17. But I want to file my state taxes now. I am due refunds from the states (NY & NJ) but owe on my fed. Can I online?
I also need to add a state. I don't see a place to do this.

Your state e-file will look to see if your Federal was accepted before it is processed. Therefore the best thing to do is to go ahead and e-file your Federal along with the states and then simply to remember to pay your Federal by 4/18 to avoid interest and penalty. Within the TurboTax program you can either set a "direct debit" to the IRS for 4/18 or log into the IRS's website and pay them directly on that date. This should enable you time to have gotten your state refunds as you are planning.
