If I see a mistake I need to fix on my 1040 how can I get to that specific box and make the change once I am this far along.

I found the mistake after paying and I am doing my final review before hitting the e-file button.

You cannot go back through the State tax return and see the section where those lines on the return are being referenced?

Just click on the section of the program that you need to return to on the left side of the online program screen.

It doesn't let me get to that specific area,  When I run the check document it comes back as "we checked everything and your return is ready to go", but I can see the missing and incorrect data when I review the entire form.  I need to get to edit specific boxes on my 1040.

In what section of the program is the problem?  My Info, Wages & Income, Deductions & Credits, Other Tax Situations, State?  

Clicking on any of the those sections will give your ability to access the sub-sections of the program where the problem lies.

CT state 1040 lines 18a,18b, 18c cannot be fix by going into any of the side bar areas.

"I found the mistake after paying "

 

you may have a closed tax return.

 

Use the obtuse command trick "Add a State" to resume working on your incomplete tax return.

Exactly,  in my opinion  it's a flaw in Turbo tax.  To fix it I had to download the state 1040 I completed on turbo tax, go to the State of CT website and file it all over on their system.  It was the only way to fix the mistakes.  Turbo tax let me down this year.
