How can I manually edit a form in my state tax retur using TurboTax online?

There is a technical glitch in the program where I am not able to edit my medical deduction in the Federal return. I'm taking the standard deduction, so no problem there.

My problem is Ohio is pulling that number into their calculations. I need to edit the Unreimbursed Medical Care Expenses Worksheet. How do I do that? 

It won't affect the rest of the calculations. Line 3 is wrong. So what I did was enter in Line 4 the amount that would make Line 5 correct when they're added together. But since this worksheet gets filed with the return, I'd like for Lines 3 and 4 to be correct.

You cannot edit forms in TurboTax Online, as you know. Indeed, this ability to edit forms is one reason why so many taxpayers use the CD/download version - that and you can see all forms at any time. Oh, should I mention that you can do more than one return with the CD/download software, useful for dealing with family members - you can e-file up to 5 returns.

 

In your case, document what you did and why, in case someone from Ohio writes you a letter and asks about it.
