I think it depends on the state.  Some states in the software piggyback off of the federal for efile.  I found this chart that you might find helpful  https://proconnect.intuit.com/support/en-us/help-article/electronic-filing/state-e-file-methods-standalone-vs-piggyback/L11dxp3xr_US_en_US

Preparing taxes is not my life, but my life is amazing because I prepare taxes.

Yes, ur reply was very helpful.  I was dealing with the state of Arizona.  Therefore, I had to piggy back the state return with the Federal.  The chart was most helpful for future reference. Much obliged.
