TurboTax Business 2020 bug: Unable to choose a state to download if executor lives in a state that has no state tax since the “Get Another State” button is hidden.
This is a detailed software development bug report...
Bug in Version: 2020.48.23.78 (updated 5/2/2021)
Use case: Decedent dies with residency in a state that has state tax. Executor (or legal representative) lives in a state that does NOT have state tax. The TurboTax Step-By-Step wizard needs to show the “Get Another State” button to allow choice of state.
Suggested fix: Add a data field to store decedent’s state of residence (e.g. Virginia). Stop referencing the Executor’s state data field… it’s irrelevant (indeterminate). Why? Quite often, the Executor (or legal representative) lives in a different state, usually a child of deceased. Tax law states that the decedent’s state determines which state tax
