Yes, you can file the federal return and not the state.  You can choose not to prepare a state return or delete it if you already started it.  In the File section, you can also select to file just your federal return.  To do this:

 

  1. Go to the "File" tab in your TurboTax
  2. Proceed through the prompts
  3. Make sure you only select the federal return for e-filing

You can also:

 

  1. Select "Delete" next to your state return

If you decide to file your state return later, you can always go back to your return and file it.  

 

How do I e-file my state after I already filed my federal?
