Turbotax basic for PC keeps asking me to purchase a state return even though it knows I am filing from and live in Washington state, which has no income tax. Is Intuit trying to trick people into buying something they don't need?

Ignore the message since WA does not have a personal income tax.

However, in 2024 Washing does have a Working Families Tax Credit Application which may be messing things up.

Click on Forms. When in Forms mode see if there is the application listed, should be at the bottom of the list of the left side in Forms mode since it is a state form. Also, there may be a Washington Information Worksheet listed and if it is, delete the worksheet.

If it is listed, click on the form to open and then click on Delete Form at the bottom of the screen.

I did not see forms, however, when I clicked through the links, came up with an error loading the Washington State form. Looks like it can be ignored!
