State Tax process: Sel. Start. Asks: Would you like to use your free state now? Sel. No - won't let me past this point!

AZ state tax.   I do not want to use free state tax at this point.   I need to figure out if I get a refund first and it will not allow me to go past the Start of state tax process without saying yes (use free state tax).   Please investigate and advise.

The "free state" is for completing your return only. It has nothing to do with filing. You will be asked to file/pay after your state return is finished.

The main reason this is asked is if you have more than one state to file. If so, you can use the free one for the other state.
