I want to file federal only now and state later. I don't get the screen on step 3.

It depends if you delete your state return or you pay for it and save it for later. 

See this article for help: Can I file my federal taxes now and skip my state for later?

I want to file federal only now and state later. I don't get the screen on step 3.

Here's what worked for me:

  • Go to Review.
  • When you get to the screen titled Just one more step and we'll file your returns select Get ready to save and file your returns.
  • On the next screen (Let’s get ready to e-file) choose File By Mail. (Makes no sense, I know.)
  • Next to your state return on the next screen, select Change then on the following screen I'm not ready to file.
  • The next screen will list just your 2020 Federal return and you can go on to file your Federal return.
