Turbo Tax desktop forcing me to purchase state forms

This is my first year using the desk top version of Turbo Tax. Wanted it for multiple filings.  Purchased federal only as Nevada does not have state taxes.  But one of the filings we are trying to do is in Utah.  I do not want to use Turbo Tax for the state filing, just the federal, but it will not let me move forward with the filing without downloading the state forms at $45 each.  Is there a way to skip the state filing and not download the forms.  I get an error 190 with option to cancel (which kills everything) or continue and purchase the forms.

OOPS!  I read your question too fast, so disregard this product list.  Sorry about that.  I now see you purchased the Federal-only Deluxe.

OOPS!  I just re-read your question and saw you already mentioned "Federal only."  So disregard the comment above.   So your product must be Deluxe Federal only.

 

If you're using Windows, see if it will let you do this, although I realize you haven't actually downloaded the state software (unless it prospectively downloaded in the background as TurboTax will sometimes do.)
