Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Check with your state to make sure they received your tax return and it was processed before amending it. You can use this article to track your state refund to make sure your return has processed by clicking on your state. How do I track my state refund?

I would wait until it is fully processed in case your state makes an adjustment to your tax return. Once it is fully processed, if your state did not make corrections to it to reflect your estimated payments then you can amend your state tax return.

You can try calling your state's Department of Revenue for more information: How do I contact my state Department of Revenue?
