Thanks for the thorough replies and screenshots which I am sure will be helpful to others in my situation.
I'm afraid once going through the Free Option of Turbo Tax efile, I did not come across the steps where I would have been able to input the source of my retirement which would have then prompted the system to eliminate the State portion and allow me to complete and file my straight forward 1040 with standard deduction. I did not purchase purchase Turbo Tax Deluxe this year because I found my itemized deductions of last year and the year before did not exceed the standard deduction. Hence, I decided against purchasing the deluxe version which would have given me the flexibility to simply not file the state portion. I must point out that at some point during the filing, the system asked my AGI of last year. Even though, I had retained a pdf copy of my return from l last year on my PC, once I attempted to open the document done with the previously installed and validated Deluxe version, Turbo Tax much to my surprise, required the product key of the software which of course I did not have handy! The free efile version processed with information from a 1099 which is all I had, notwithstanding the promotional assistance offers during the filing, turned out uneventful in my case. However, I did end up printing out my completed 1040 processed via the free efile version and mailing it with my payment to IRS on time. Filling out a form and submitting the return via snail mail in a straight forward case like mine may prove to be less timely. That's how I used to do things--all by hand. I still try.
Best regards
