State E-file

I am attempting to e-file my state return but Turbo Tax tells me there is an update required.  When I check for updates Turbo Tax says my software is up to date, but I still can't e-file the state return.  I successfully e-filed my federal return an hour ago.

Did you already electronically file your Federal return first separately?  If so, what is it's e-file status?    If you e-filed separately, you cannot e-file the state return until the Federal return has been accepted.

 

Try going through the REVIEW process again.  Do you get any messages about why you can't e-file it your state return?

I did e-file the federal return first separately and the status is "Accepted".  I ran the review process again and I still get the message that there is a software update and I need to go to the online menu to check for updates.  When I do, it says I am up to date.  Turbo Tax also shows that I have paid the state e-file fee
