'I added a dependent to my state filing'.  

 

What state tax return are you filing?  How were you able to enter the dependent on this state tax return?  Are you not able to return to the state tax return and delete?  

 

Please clarify.

 

Best practice would be to remove the dependent from both tax returns, then add the dependent only to the Federal tax return.  The dependent information will flow to the state tax return.

 

Worst case option would be to remove all entries and start over.  

 

Click Tax Tools, then Clear and start over at the bottom left of the screen.
