Filing is generally required by law. You must report your income to the state and calculate your tax due or refund due. There are ways to file that cost less than turbotax's filing fees.
If you don't file at all, the state is allowed to calculate your income from any information they can find -- W-2s, 1099s, bank records of deposits, and so on. They don't have to give you credit for any deductions, dependents or credits, because those things don't exist unless you claim them in writing. Then, they can bill you for the tax they think you owe (without deductions, dependents or credits) and confiscate your funds or send you to collections if you don't pay. Also, the statute of limitations never starts if you don't file, so if you don't file, the state could literally audit you for your 2022 taxes any time for the rest of your life.
