company name on state information form

Turbotax business tells me that my company name is not entered correctly on my state tax information page.  There is no problems with the name on the federal information form.  I can't understand why there is a problem.

So is that an error message you are receiving about the state information worksheet when you run an error check?

 

I'm a fellow user, not affiliated with TurboTax/Intuit.   I don't use TurboTax Business, but in the personal products (not Business) I have seen past postings where some users had a problem similar to this; i.e., a conflict between the Federal and state information worksheets.   I'm curious if this state by any chance is California, and is it displaying an error that something on the state info worksheet must be entered on the Federal Information Worksheet?  Or is it a different state?   I know in the personal product, some users had occasional trouble with the California worksheet.

 

If it's similar to the personal products, when the name is entered, it is reflected on the Federal Information Worksheet and should flow automatically to the state info worksheet.  Even if it "looks" correct on both worksheets, something in the background between the 2 worksheets may be out of kilter and needs to be reset.   Do I assume correctly that you didn't enter the company name manually on the state side?

 

Try this.  Go to the Federal side and "edit" the company name (but actually you will reuse the same name); i.e, select the entire field and remove and re-enter the same name again to see if it resets something and allows it to flow and be recognized correctly on the state information worksheet.   Be sure you don't enter an extra space after the name.   Once you "edit" the company name in the Federal with the same name, save the file, and then close TurboTax.   Then launch TurboTax again, open the file, and see if all is OK with no conflicts between the 2 worksheets.
