I don't want to amend my 2016 State tax refund. However, turbotax is saying that I cannot efile because it is amended. I just want to file my state tax return. No changes

what state?

You may have inadvertently clicked the box to create an amended state return.  To remove the state amended return you will have to go back through your state interview and "unselect" the amended return function. 

To access your state return(s), after filing your federal return, please follow these steps: 

1. On the Overview page, click on My TurboTax > My Tax Timeline. 
2. Click on Continue my [state] return.  

Please follow these general steps (since the screens for each state differ slightly) to remove the "amended" flag:Click on the Edit box next to your state return.

1. Continue through the screens.  After going through the income, deductions, and credits you should see a screen that contains wording about Additional (or Other) Tax Situations.
2. Look for Change (Amend) a Previously Filed Return.  Click on the Start/Update button.
3. On the screen, Amended Income Tax Return, click on Skip Amended.  [Some states will just ask if you want to amend your return.  Select No.]
4. You should now be able to file your state return.

If you need more specific instructions, please reply back with your state.
