File Amended State Return even if I haven't filed the original yet?

[Jasnsf]

Filed my federal return electronically but haven't filed my state yet.

Needed to file amended federal return after finding a $500 donation left off Schedule A.

Turbo Tax is generating an amended state return using the amended Federal Return.

Since I haven't filed the State Return do I file the amended return?  

If not, how do I get TurboTax to generate a non-amended state return?

Since you have not filed your State return yet, you don't amend it, the information will flow to your State from your Federal return.

You should delete the State return so the program does not produce an amended State return.

If you are using the Online version, you can delete your state return in TurboTax Online as long as you haven't paid or registered yet.

1. Sign in and open your return if you don't already have it open.
2. From the left menu, select State (if you don't see this menu, select the menu icon in the upper-left) and then select Continue on the Let's get your state taxes done right screen.
3. On the Status of your state returns screen select Delete to the right of your state, then answer Yes.

If you don't see the option to delete your state (you'll probably see Edit instead), you've already paid your TurboTax fees (including the state fee) or registered your free version while the state was on your return. If you've done either of these things, you can't delete your state return.

If you are using the Desktop version:

How do I clear my state return in the TurboTax for Windows software?

Here's how to clear (delete) a state return in the TurboTax for Windows CD/Download software:

1. With your return open in TurboTax, switch to Forms mode by clicking the Forms icon in the upper right corner of your screen.
2. From the File menu in the upper left corner, choose Remove State Return. (This won't delete your state program, just the state tax return.)
3. Select the return you want to delete and click Remove. Answer Yes to confirm.

If you want to start a new state return, select the Step-by-Step icon in the upper right corner, and then select the State Taxes tab.

I have the same issue except that I printed the state return for filing, but never sent it in.  The option to "Remove State Return" (Desktop version) is grayed out.  Any other ideas?
