Why will TurbTax not accept my state refund 1099G informtion?

Turbotax will not accept my state refund 1099G information, and says it has already been entered, but nothing is showing in the 1099G and Other Common Income section.

Yes...there is a maddening bug for that for some people's files:

That "can" happen if there is a value in column "e" of the Federal Carryover Worksheet, but seems to happen to some folks with nothing there.  (if you do have a value in "e" then there may be some explaining to do on your part...but it can happen)

_______________________________________

1)  Go to the Carry-Over Worksheet In Forms Mode:

2)  Down the left side of the worksheet  (Below that b,c,d,e,f,g table) are a bunch of boxes.

3)  The very last one is labeled "2016 State Tax Refund Information":
............on the first line  of that box (some data may already be there)  enter your state, the "d" value, and the 1099-G refund as the last entry.  (Example for NC below)

that "should" fix it
___________
also have a more drastic option....but that's pretty extreme

I do have an entry in column (e) paid with return. This is an amended return.  The original return understated the amount of state withholding.  The amended return corrected this, but required an additional payment to be made with the amended return.  The amount in column (e) on the worksheet is incorrect by $10 from what is on R-540V-SD payment voucher.
