You should not actually need to add a state. After you file, the return is closed to keep from accidentally making changes to the copy of the return that is at the IRS. That is why we usually go in as an amend, to track any changes.
You should be able to go in for the amendment process and just not make any changes in the federal. Make the changes in the state and then only file the one that you need.
When someone suggested clicking on "add a state" that is a way to open the return without being in the amendment process. This is helpful for some things but if you actually need to amend the state return, you will want to be in the amendment process.
