When you go through the File section, when it asks what returns do you want to file, choose just file my Federal return.

 

If a State return was started & you don't want it, you can delete the state return.

 

How do I delete my state return in TurboTax Online?

You can delete your state return in TurboTax Online as long as you haven't paid or registered yet.

  1. Sign in and open your return if you don't already have it open.
  2. From the left menu, select State (if you don't see this menu, select the menu icon in the upper-left) and then select Continue on the Let's get your state taxes done right screen.
  3. On the Status of your state returns screen select Delete to the right of your state, then answer Yes.

If you don't see the option to delete your state (you'll probably see Edit instead), you've already paid your TurboTax fees (including the state fee) or registered your free version while the state was on your return. If you've done either of these things, you can't delete your state return.

In addition to the option given by bluedeb, or if your state return cannot be deleted, choose to file the state return by mail while filing your Federal return electronically.  Then, just do not mail the state return.
