I don't think so but wanted to float it before I tried it.  Under normal circumstances when you efile, the fed and state go at the same time.  If the Fed gets rejected, then the state gets rejected because the Fed got rejected.  The only issue is that the child of the taxpayer did not check the box of being claimed as a dependent of a parent.  So now I have to paper file the Fed.  Was not sure if the state would reject an efile if it was a standalone filing without the fed being simultaneously filed.  Also not sure if the states have the same level of sophistication to flag the return for the same issue.  Just trying to limit the paper filing.

Thank you for your reply!
