Do Have to file state taxes in California if I earned less than $5,000?

Turbotax is giving me the option to delete my state tax return and only file a federal tax return. Does this mean I only need to file a federal tax return?

Let me know please. Thanks!

    any income below the personal exemption isn't eligible

    The personal exemption for a single is usually $5000-$6000

    You may be entitled to state earned income credit but you would have to file for it.
