Do I have to paper file State returns for same sex couples?

[jasdlm]

If I create the State efiles, the Federal return that I created to file the single State returns are going to be attached. Is that correct?

It depends on the state. At least some of the states want to see the federal proforma that was used to create the state return. CA put on a checkbox that says the state filing status is different than federal, and I've seen at least a few others that have some indication that the return is an SSMC. Most have created some sort of form for SSMCs. What state/states are you trying to file?

Kansas and Missouri

KS has a worksheet you fill out but don't file....weird, but whatever. Available here: http://www.ksrevenue.org/pdf/iiallocation13.pdf

MO allows SSMCs to file joint returns even though they don't recognize the marriage.

A great resource is : http://benefitsattorney.com/charts/state-taxes-and-married-same-sex-couples/#Kansas

I just got the link to that site yesterday from my lgbt bar message board.
