Is there anyway to file just federal and not state after you have registered?

It is not giving me the options to pick either state of federal.

What are you seeing when you go to the File section?

[hsgruntz]

It asks if I want to  e-file, when I go to change options, it only gives me the option to change Federal.  When I go to the next page, is allows me to print both federal and state.  I already file state.  I just need to ensure that will not get filed again.

Did you file the State by mail?  Or did you e-file the State?
If it's not allowing you to change the State - that would be an indication that TurboTax is recognizing that you have already filed.  What happens if you go ahead and Continue in the File section?
(And don't worry - until you actually indicate to e-file now, you can still go back).

[hsgruntz]

I filed on the state web site.  It allows me to continue; however, it is not telling me which returns it is e-filing.

Can you choose to change the state to File by Mail?

[hsgruntz]

It is not giving me that option.

Yes, you can just file the Federal without the State.

• When you are in your return, click on File in the left column
• Once you have completed Step 1 (registered your return) and Step 2 (how you want to receive refund/pay amount due), click the Start button beside Step 3.  (See screenshot below)
• You will see "Here are your filing choices".  Click on "I'd like to change filing methods". (See the second screenshot below)
• You will get a pop-up titled "Change filing methods"  (See the third screenshot below)
• Under your State return, click on "I'm not ready to file"
• Click Save.  This will take you back to "Here are your filing choices" which will indicate that your State return will be filed later.
• Click Continue and go on to file your Federal return.

3. Click on Contact us (See the screenshot below)
4. Give an explanation of what the problem with your return is (Need help with how to file)
   
5. Select "Get a callback"
