State E-filing

You can prepare a state tax return in TaxACT desktop software or TaxACT Online. Most of the information required for your state return is entered in the Federal Q&A and flows to the state return. The State Q&A then prompts you for additional information specific to your state. You must complete the Federal Q&A to accurately prepare your state return.

Each state has different requirements for electronically filing a state return. For example, Arkansas requires state returns to be e-filed with the federal, so if you have already e-filed your federal return, you must print and file a paper return when filing for Arkansas.
