I am getting a REFUND on my State Filing but I OWE $$ on my Federal so

I'd like to E-file my 2022 TT Deluxe State filing by E-filing FIRST using Intuits site and then wait until April to file my Federal since I have to PAY (so why file/pay earlier than needed).

Can I do this with my TTD 2022 or do I have to email them together or in reverse order from what I want (I want State E-file first then two months later E-file my federal)

(dsd1): my normal email is [email address removed] (if that is possible as I sometimes have a hard time getting back to this community site)

Thanks

The state tax return cannot be e-filed alone if the federal return has not been e-filed and accepted by the IRS.

The federal and state tax returns can be e-filed at the same time OR you can e-file the federal return now and e-file the state return at a later date one the federal return has been accepted by the IRS.

Hmmmm; not the order that I am looking for.

Assuming your answer is correct that would leave me to be able to print/send in my state tax rather than E filing it. I wonder if states (like MA) will allow E-file to them using the TTD program (or maybe fax to them or scan/email). Any ideas?

You can e-file them at the same time but say that you will pay the federal tax by mailing a check. That gives you time to get the state refund back..By the April filing deadline, mail the IRS a check or pay the IRS on the direct pay site.

If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.

No, 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.

For more information, please see the TurboTax FAQ below:
