I downloaded 2 states because I'm doing my sons taxes in Minnesota and mine in North Dakota I'm trying to E-file state and turbotax is asking to file in both minnesta and north Dakota but I didn't live in Minnesota so why would turbotax ask me to

Maybe because you have both states downloaded, but you don't want to file a MN return for yourself, so you should delete that tax return from your return and E-file only the ND return.  The MN software will stay loaded to use with your son's return.   But it could be that you have referenced MN somewhere in your return.  Before you delete anything, click on Personal Info up top and go back through that section and make sure you did not indicate anything about MN.   When you click on State Taxes up top, you should see ND listed under Your State Returns and MN listed under Other installed states.  

To remove the state return in the desktop version, click on the File menu at the top of the screen and select Remove State Return.

When I click file on my desktop version there is no "Remove State ..."

Do you have the Windows version or the Mac version?

In the Windows version, the File that Dawn refers to is in the upper left hand corner to the left of Edit.

When you click on File, you get a dozen or so option. Remove State Return is just under Save to PDF in the middle.

If you don't have the Remove State Return, then go into Forms mode and see if you have the forms for each state. I assume that you do from your description, but Remove State Return should be there...
