Amended Federal Return

OK, I am confused about something.  I e-filed my original return yesterday in TurboTax and it was accepted by the IRS.  I noticed today that I forgot to include a 1099-INT for the interest on Series I savings bonds.  First of all, no additional state tax is due because it is a savings bond.  Even though TurboTax gave me the option to send an amended state return in (for Virginia) I did not do that.  That is the state question.

 

So, for the federal question.  A "Step 1, Step2, Step3" screen came up in TT and Step 2 said this:

 

Step 2:  Print and mail your amended returns (Returns other than VA, must be mailed).

 

I continued on and it allowed me to e-file the Federal Amended Return where I confirmed my original banking account information to pay the additional tax owed from the 1099-INT that was missed.

Then it tried to get me to e-file the Virginia state return again even though there was no change.  I unchecked the option to file the VA state return.

 

What gives.  This step 2 seemed to indicate and cannot e-file the federal amendment, but it allowed me to continue on and transmit it.
