Why does TTax ask if I want to work on state taxes when it knows I live in a state w/o a state income tax?...

I live in a state w/o a state income tax. TTax knows this. Why does it always ask if I want to work on the state tax when the fed tax part is done? It is very annoying... Please fix this next year!

Some users live in one state and work in another state, so they could need to file a return in the state they worked in. Or they could have income sourced from a state they do not live in and have a need to file a non-resident state return. There are a number of reasons why some users might need to file non-resident returns even if they live in a state with no state income tax. It probably took you longer to post your "ranty" question here than it would take to just say no to the software when it asks if you want to work on a state return.

Thanks. Good point; I hadn't thought about that. You could have left the last sentence off.
