Unable to efile Arkansas return

TurboTax is saying that I must e-file my Arkansas return with my federal return. The federal return has been filed and accepted. How do I get TT to e-file Arkansas?

Here is the message from TT: This return cannot be e-filed by itself. You'll need to e-file this return at the same time as your federal return.

Did you e-file the federal from the same account? What happens if you say, okay, file them both together? Is that an option? And your federal e-file status shows accepted in the same TurboTax tax file? From TurboTax FAQ

Although state returns can be e-filed with your federal return (or after your federal return has already been accepted), it's no longer possible to e-file state returns before the federal.

This also means you won't be able to e-file your state if your federal return was, or will be, paper-filed.

If you e-filed your federal return as Married Filing Jointly, but want to file your state returns as Married Filing Separately, only one state return can be e-filed. The other will have to be paper-filed. Federal returns are not affected by this security measure and can be e-filed with or without a state.
