I have a W2 from a job in IL, with an income of $620(estimated refund of $2). Im filing federal and CA(W2 income 40k+), do i need to file in IL? Always a CA resident.

Went to school in Illinois and had a part-time job there in early 2018. My total income was only $620 as mentioned before. I was always considered a CA resident and am now back working in CA.

Because my income is so small and I don't owe the state money, do I still need to file?

Reason for question is I need to deluxe version to TurboTax due to some forms I needed to file. If possible I would like to avoid paying the fee for a state I barely made any money in and will only get a refund of $2.

Thanks
