    you can’t file just your state tax returns online

    Then either I’m misunderstanding you, or I’m filing my taxes wrong lol

      This is a month late, but what I meant was there is no way to do them completely separately since the state largely uses your federal return. When you submit your state taxes it checks to see if your federal return was already accepted (usually at that point you haven’t actually submitted your federal taxes, or at least the IRS hasn’t entered them in as submitted), if it shows as being accepted already their system is set up in a way that won’t allow a second submission online.
