State tax filing

Several years ago, I filed Fed and State taxes at the same time. Then the feds rejected my return. It was easy to fix my Fed mistake -- but a big hassle to refile the state. So now I only file the state return AFTER the feds have accepted my return. BUT not TT won't let me do this! Says I must file the Fed first, even though I have filed and it was accepted. I can't efile my state return from TurboTax. ???? Help!!!
