Hi Tia -
It's been a while since I did this, but if I recall correctly, with states like CA you can transmit them standalone by:
I believe this is necessary for states like CA where federal return data has to be "e-file ready" in order to send the state return. If you have any PDF attachments make sure they're not set to "send with federal" either, as those can throw a similar transmission failure.
Some states can be efiled alone, but some are piggybacked on federal. Here is a list:
Remove the check mark to efile federal in the Profile screen.
I did that and it still won't let me efile just the state - what else am I missing? If it try to e-file the federal which I know it will get rejected - will it reject the state return as well? That seems to be my only solution short of paper filing the state return.
Which state?
California
What is the efile error message. State should be able to efile as a standalone.
says its missing federal return data when efile with fed link problem occurred transmitting e-file data. If problem persists call customer support. when I click e-file.
I must not have something checked right - I removed the e-file federal check but in the actual e-file area - it only shows california but the e-file with federal has a grayed out checkmark.
I'm going to have to call tech support I guess.

That seemed to work - let me e-file state only and said it's been received by Intuit. Thank you so very much
the return is locked, go to return on the top right and unlock it.
that'll do the trick.
This was definitely the answer...unlock!
