How To File State Return

Hope someone can help me with this. I am a web designer, no employees and am not required to pay any NYS taxes or collect NYS taxes because my services are all digital. According to NYS tax laws. 

 

I started my tax return and I noticed I owe a bit for my state return. When I remove my self employment I go back to being in the green (getting a refund).

 

My question is, can I file my federal and do my state separately so I don't have to include those self employment wages on my NYS return?

Do you have a tax question about that?
