How do i file federal only

[Rosales]

Hello  nikkiscoop!

You can do this easily with TurboTax! When you have completed entering everything into TurboTax that will transfer to your Federal Form 1040, you will just proceed to filing your federal return. Even if a state return was automatically prepared by TurboTax based on your entries, you can choose to ignore this and only file your Federal return, once you are ready to file. 

If you are using any version of TurboTax other than the free Federal, you will need to delete the state return that generated before proceeding to file the federal return.

Hopefully this information will help! Please feel free to comment back if you have any additional questions or difficulties. Best regards and thank you for using TurboTax.

I'm unable to locate how to skip my State e-file to just file my Federal returns.  I've already paid for both and followed TT recommendation to skip my State, but I do not have any options to do this.  Would appreciate any assistance as I'm awaiting for TT update for WI State 1099-R/8915-E issues to be resolved before I can send my State returns in.

@BB781 Since you only want to file your federal return while awaiting your state form to be updated, the following 2 help articles may offer some assistance in how to do so:

 Can I file my federal taxes now and skip my state for later? ; I don't want to file my state

If neither of these articles help, please reach out by calling our live representatives: Contact TurboTax

Thank you.  I actually had to select 'File by Mail' to get back to the screen that allows me to indicate that I'm not ready to File State yet.

OMG BB781 - thank you for this - SO odd that you'd have to select that option to select Federal only. I couldn't find this anywhere else so you saved me!
