How to amend only a Federal Return?

How do I amend only my Federal Return? I made a mistake on my Federal Return and I need to amend, however when I try to amend through TurboTax, it immediately takes me to amend my state return after finishing my federal. I don't need to amend my state return, but there seems to be no way to get through it a file my amended federal return without completing an amended state return.

You will have to go through the complete process. However, amended returns must be mailed in. So after you finish amending and printing, only print and mail the federal amended return. Then you can securely destroy the amended state return.
