California 2018 Tax Filing

[ifh1969]

Hello,

     TurboTax filed my 2018 Federal Tax returns.  Now I need to file my 2018 California Tax forms.  Can TurboTax file my 2018 California Tax forms?  How?

Thank You,

Ian

TurboTax cannot file your 2018 state return.  A 2018 return can only be sent by mail--and you have to print and sign it first.  If you prepared your 2018 federal return using TT you can return to the account and prepare the 2018 state return.  But you will have to use downloaded 2018 desktop software on a full PC or Mac.  The online program is no longer available for use for a 2018 return.

How do I return to the account and prepare the 2018 state return?  Will I have to pay for the desktop software even though I paid for the original filing?

Thank You,

Ian

Will I need Deluxe or Premier?  I used a K-1, schedule 3, schedule B, schedule D, 8949, 2555, on my federal taxes.

Thank You,

If you used the TurboTax online editions to prepare the federal tax return and entered investment sales, then you had to be using the Premier online edition.  If you paid for the 2108 Premier online edition you will need to contact TurboTax support so they can push a 2018 Premier desktop edition to your download account at no charge.  However, if you did not pay for the 2018 state online program you will need to pay for the desktop state program, $44.99.
