I have unemployment income and I need to amend my State return. I am ready to file my amendment but Turbotax is asking to hold off on state and re-file federal. Thoughts?

I thought that I shouldn't amend my Federal and only amend my State return, but after I had started my state amendment, TT is asking me to file federal and hold off on State until they send me an email. Thoughts?

You are correct you do not need to amend your federal return.  If your state is conforming to the new federal changes to exclude the unemployment income that was originally taxed and the state is not making the corrections for you, then you need to amend only your state returns.  

If your state amendment is ready then send it.
