No option to sign state return without mock federal return for mfj federal, mfs state

I followed all the ridiculous steps to complete the MFJ federal, and then I had to do 3 mock mfs. I am told not to include the mock federal, however, when I print the state return, it includes the federal filing, which is where I have to sign. How am I supposed to 'not send the mock federal' when I have to in order to sign my state return?
