How Can I File a State Only Return in ProWeb?
It is mandatory that a federal return be marked for electronic filing in order to electronically file a state only return. If a state return is marked “state only” the IRS will not process the federal return and will send the state return to the state.
To electronically file a state only return:
- Select E-File from within the return. This is usually on the left side of the page. If on the Calculation Page, click Continue.
- Mark the option Send State Only
- Select Federal Return Type. you must select Federal Return Type even though it is State Only return being filed.
- Click on the State Return(s) tab and select the State Return Type
- Once done, click Save. You will be taken to the Submission page.
There are states that do not accept State Only filing. These are:
- Alabama
- Arkansas
- Mississippi
- Oklahoma
When electronically filing returns for these states, it is mandatory that you also e-file your Federal return as well.
