If you do not have any Illinois sourced income and your only income is military then there is no need for you to file an Illinois state tax return.

 

Click on My Info on the left side of the online program screen.  Edit you personal information.  Where asked for your resident state make sure it is North Carolina.  When asked if you lived in any other states or made money in any other states answer NO.

Yes, you can remove your Illinois state tax filing.  As a Servicemember you do not have to file in the state you are stationed in, just your State of Legal Residency (SLR/Home of Record).  See Military Personnel Tax Tips - TurboTax for more details and information.  

 

In TurboTax, from the list of states, just delete from the list.  See How do I delete my state return in TurboTax Online?
