Being retired from the state does not necessarily exempt you from "filing" state taxes. Many states that exempt their own former employees retirement income from being taxed by that same state, still require them to "File" the state forms if their Federal AGI is greater than some $$ amount,,,,,and the Federal AGI includes that retirement income.
Anyhow, you can delete the state forms in the state tax section, and then e-file the Federal without paying for the state. But if you do find you have to file your state later, you will have to pay for it then......or if too late (after October), you'll end up having to buy/use the desktop software
