I am responding to this for those that are filing using the online version. As the screen that is suppose to say “Here are your filing options” did not exist for me and I don’t think I’m alone. This is what worked for me...
When you click File there are 3 steps. You will have to enter your payment info for the TurboTax Fee in Step 1, confirm your direct deposit/paper check for refunds in Step 2 (or, I’m assuming, your payment info if you owe). But don’t worry nothing gets submitted on either of these steps, even though it feels like you’re going to miss the step to change your state filing status.
When you get to Step 3 in the filing process, click Start. The next Screen should say, “Let’s Get Ready to e-file” at the top. Through trial and error, I discovered you click “File by Mail”. The next screen then has the “Change” option for federal and state forms. Change your state form to “I’m not ready to file”.
Hope this helps anyone that was looking for the “Here are your filing options” screen as TurboTax online instructed incorrectly.
